how to create a bucket list

ok first things first.
some of you may wonder what a bucket list is.
well it's a list of things you wish to achieve during your life time. personal goals you set your self.
or maybe unusual past times you wish to try. they can be a ridiculous or as sentimental as you wish them to be.
think your too old think again http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7717680.stm this man was 93 years old. it's never too late, why leave it for some day, stop putting it off for some day and write your list now!

headings to consider.
personal growth; maybe you wish to learn an instrument, or go back into education, maybe get that degree you promised yourself, or maybe you wish to give back and mentor someone else! right a wrong, be a better person, help a stranger.

food and drink; is there a food you have only ever dreamed of trying? or maybe go vegetarian or vegan for a week,month,year

travel; where do you wish to go, maybe you want to take your children to visit where you or relatives grew up, perhaps you wish to host strangers, or you could maybe do a house swap (you live in someone else's house why they live in yours cheap holiday) all 50 states of USA, roadtrip

career; after a promotion, or want to start a business, maybe encourage someone else to start a business.

family; have a family, pass on a nugget of wisdom, send parents/grandparents on dream trip, be a better person.

experience: a flashback, skydive, bungee jump, a moment of extreme terror, a moment of extreme bliss.

invent or discover something; maybe you hold the key to the cure for the common cold, or have a idea for a boardgame perhaps.

sport; compete in a marathon, see Olympics live, try wind surfing, run a 6 minute mile, learn a new sport like tennis, golf,basketball, make a hole in one.

learn a language, perhaps French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, or mandarin. or if becoming fluent is too much why not learn popular phrases or sentence. (as this is something on my list i will post some sentences over sometime so watch this space.)

maybe entertainment is more you thing why not try; stand up comedy, being an extra in a film/TV show, be a member of the audience, learn an instrument, recite poetry, watch the top 500 film of all times (also on my list watch this space)

dances to try; rumba, salsa, tango, foxtrot, or just make a fool of yourself more often at parties.

adventures to go on; perhaps a trek in the woods, or scuba dive great barrier reef,


what ever your ideas have ago the thinking them up bit is the easiest the ticking them off is the hardest.
