The Momentum Bucket List

In 2007 Hollywood produced the movie, The Bucket List, which was all at once humorous and insightful. Complete strangers found they must face who they really are and if they have accomplished all they wanted to in life before it's too late. They decided they needed a list of things to do that they had never gotten around to doing. This whole concept became very popular for many of us!

Now that we are on the way to reinventing our lives exactly the way we want, we encourage you to start a list of your own. It can be serious, silly, or simple. It might be something you've done before, but not in a very long time. Or it might be daring and adventurous (safety first though!). These might seem ridiculous to family and friends. But all that counts is this list is real and important to you--no one else. While you are thinking, let's have some fun. Remember there are different kinds of lists for different kinds of people. Try something you've never done before: 

Five Adventurous Bucket Gems

1. Jump out of an airplane on your next big birthday milestone. 
2. Rent a sailboat and travel to an island.
3. Stay at a B&B in an exotic location.  
4. Photograph elephants in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
5. Go on an archaeological dig.  

Seven Encouraging Bucket Gems

1. Send yourself flowers.

2. Find two other single-again friends and take a crafty class together.
3. Sleep in the middle of the bed.
4. Eat dessert first before a meal.
5. Adopt a pet to love and enjoy (if you already have one, get another!)
6. Save up and buy a beautiful gemstone ring on Valentine's Day.
7. Rent a bicycle along the coast and see the sites. 

There are a million more things you can do. Keep thinking and you could create categories of bucket lists for yourself: a Bucket List for. . . home, career, health, travel, kids, budget, adventure, etc etc. Do different. Be different. You've got the idea. Keep the momentum going!

Thought to ponder: You were created to be creative by your Creator! He wants you to enjoy life to the fullest in whatever way suits your personality to show the world Who loves you!
