the final countdown

Well, my 30 days are up. Here is a final update on my bucket list. I completed as many items as I could, plus I added a few other fun things that happened for good measure.

This experience made me so much more willing to try new things, even if they weren’t on my list. I realize, now, that’s how life should be lived. We should all be trying new and interesting things each day; we should try things that scare us; we should try things that empower us; we should especially take advantage of each day that we have and try our hardest to look back without regretting something we didn’t do.

Even though I didn’t cross off every item on my list, that doesn’t mean I won’t continue to cross them off. Before you know it I’ll be speaking French so well that your head will be spinning. Ok..ok…maybe not, but you get the idea.

Happy 2012.
