Many New Year's Resolution lists include "I want to do-----------" Do you see a difference in having something like that on a resolution list and having it on a bucket list? Are the items on a bucket list always of a larger or a grander scale? At least in so far as our own individual expectations go, that is. My husband expects to have about 6 months of health to accomplish his bucket list, except he never thought he would have to make up a bucket list. He wants to see Yellowstone Nat'l Park - it's one of two nat'l parks he hasn't seen. He wants to go back to the East coast to see relatives and go to his High School reunion and tell everyone goodbye. He wants to show our youngest son all the places of American history and pride in Washington DC. and He wants to go watch another son's HS band march at a football halftime show. Our son is the music director. Actually pretty simple things, but he traveled around the world several times when he was younger and now doesn't have the energy to go back to places he thought he would like to revisit some day. The other thing on his list is not to miss a day of Bible study - to understand the parts he glossed over before, to study in depth for the joy of knowing. NOT a cramming for the final test type of thing - just finally taking the time to study for the joy of the study.
I think bucket lists are somewhat different if the doctor has given you a time frame. We hope to have a lot of joy and happiness filling his list. I hope the rest of you have lots of joy also.
