Bucket List

I just read an article on Yahoo about parents whose 5 month old daughter has a rare disease and will die some day.  http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/parents-bucket-list-dying-baby-girl-goes-viral-180155213--abc-news-topstories.html
They wrote a bucket list for their daughter. 

For those of you who do not know what a bucket list is let me tell you.  There is a movie called the Bucket List with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.  It is a good movie.  They do things before the kick the bucket.  Hence the name of the movie.  To find out more about the movie go to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825232/.

It made me think about my own bucket list.  I have done many of the things I wanted to do.  I want to see my children reach the age of 25.  I want to see them happy and satisfied with their life.  I want to go to every diner, drive-in, and dive.  I want to be alive and see my husband actually clean-up after himself.  I want to be alive when they find a cure for MS. 

It is not an extensive list.  It is not a creative list.  I do not care about seeing other countries or sky-diving.  I know that I am not very exciting.  I am a simple person with simple dreams. 

I love my life even when we are going through economic problems.  I will always be a worrier even when things are going well.  I will just wait for the next problem to arrive.  I would love it if I did not have quite so many problems.  I am trying to remove the drama from my life and I guess that is impossible.  Besides how else am I to know I am alive if I do not have a problem to overcome.
