Been there, maybe will do that....

I came across a blog/website that I enjoy reading, called the Thought Catalog. What originally caught my attention was a posting called "21 Ways You Should Take Advantage of Your 20s". I, being in my mid 20's, was curious about the list and how many I had conquered. I recently was in discussion with someone about a bucket list and thought about creating one myself. Really I think what I should do is note the things that I have actually done, and people I have met, versus what I still want to do. I think we all too often get caught up in our lives and some may even say theirs is boring, but I think when you step back and look at it, we do some pretty cool stuff. I haven't been abroad to travel the world, but I'd still consider my life blessed when it comes to "activities". So here goes the start of my 'list'....complete and incomplete...what I have done and the stuff I still want to do. It's mainly for me, so I am not going to be devastated when you don't find it entertaining in the least, but I encourage you to do it yourself. I surprised myself.....and also found that my imagination is lacking when thinking of stuff I want to do.
