'Bucket List' Tuesdays


So here’s the thing. I have pondered a lot lately as to what I would include on my ‘bucket list’ if I was ever to make one. Well, I’m going to make one…and I’m going to do it weekly. I figure it’s much easier to come up with one thing at a time rather than a whole list. With a list I always feel as if I’m leaving things out and it’s such a pain to go back and edit and add and all that jazz. So I’m going to dedicate my Tuesdays to my bucket list. I will come up with one thing every Tuesday to add to my list (Okay, let’s admit that I’m sure there will be weeks that I come up with more than one) and I hope that you’ll add your own ‘bucket list’ hopes and dreams too.

Since I'm doing this via blog and obviously I like to write, I found it fit to start my bucket list with one of my deepest hopes and dreams. Since I was a little girl, sitting in my room with one of those cute little diaries that had a lock that never did work, I've always dreamed of being a writer. I have notebooks and pages and folders full of stories and poems and pondering and just random tid-bits of this and that that I've wrote over the years. I refuse to throw any of it away no matter how silly or foolish it seems.

When I say I want to be a writer, it doesn't mean that I want to sell hundreds upon hundreds of copies of a book or have this huge fan base where every one knows my name. It simply means that I want to write in a way that will touch other's lives. I want people to want to read my words, simply because they feel something from them. Perhaps one day I will be lucky enough to publish something out there will hundreds will get to read it. But if I never do, it won't make much of a difference to me.

So the first thing on my bucket list is this::

1) Become a writer; one who touches people's lives and creates words that can be felt and not just read.
