The last year or so has held a lot of lessons for me and my family. Sometimes it seemed too many to take at once. The most important of them all though was to embrace life and those you love while you have time. My husband often says, "I don't want to look back at the end of my life and say, I was able to put a lot of money in the bank. I want to say I had a f*&%ing blast!" There are so many things that I want to do (or start doing again). The things that tug at my heart when I think about them. I think a bucket list is a living thing. It changes as life progresses and priorities change. But for now, these are the things on mine.

What a great list. :)
Very sweet. I want to see the northern lights too. But watching my children fall in love and holding my grandchildren are the most important.
