Journal Entry #1000

At this point in my life I imagine I would have been happy coming back home from traveling the world, eating good food, retiring from some fantastic job that I would really miss, and living in the Hamptons beach house Dianne Keaton’s character lives in, in the movie Something’s Gotta Give.  

I didn’t have this vision thirty years ago, so now I’ve become a bucket list dreamer creating something wonderful for myself; a road map so to speak to living my best life.  I don’t wanna wake up one day and there’s no time left to do the things I’ve always wanted to do or not be able to imagine doing them.  So, I’m going to write it down (in this case journal it) and see where it goes.  

I’m gonna share my bucket list, (the short one) (yes, there is a long one!) but I’m thinking I’m gonna take it a step further and share my anti-bucket list as well, yeah share all the things I never want to do in life!  Who the crap does that?  I do. That’s who.  Here we go.
