Team Member-the Bucket List (9/14/12)

OK, so I do plan on being around for a LONG time.  I have a lot to do!!! However, a teacher I know is now fighting for her life due to cancer and is in the hospital. After the initial shock and impulse to cry, I channeled my inner Warrior Woman and decided to apply this to my life in a positive way. I have put off the bucket list until this happened and until I watched the clip from SU2C about a young woman who is trying to stay alive because she has melanoma-she has her bucket list and shared it.

I'm really a simple woman-not one for frills or splurges or extravagant things. My list may seem simple to many of you but I enjoy the simple pleasures in life. I put some easy ones on the list as a reminder that I can tackle things on a weekend or in a few hours-no need to fly or spend a ton of money. If you'd like to join me on one of my adventures, just let me know and I'm sure we can work it out. This is my reminder to make every day count and to enjoy life whenever possible.
