Re: Bucket List
This poem is very apt for this thread for the oldies......
Today, dear Lord, I'm 90 and there's much I haven't done.
I hope, dear Lord, you'll let me live until I'm 91.
But then I haven't finished, all I want to do,
Would you let me stay awhile until I'm 92?
So many places to go, so very much to see,
Do you think you could manage to make it 93?
The world is changing very fast, there is so much in store,
I think I'd like to live until I'm 94.
And if I'm feeling pretty well, I'll know I'm still alive,
I'd like to see what the world is like when I turn 95.
More planes will be up in the air, so I'd really like to stick
Around to see what happens to the world when I'm 96.
I know, dear Lord, it's much to ask and it must be nice in Heaven,
But really..... I would like to stay until I'm 97.
I know by then I'm getting slow and sometimes very late,
But it would be so pleasant to be here at 98.
I will have seen so many things and had a wonderful time,
So I'm sure I will be willing to leave at 99.

Well it had to happen, after almost 1 and half hours skating I went for a dive on the ice, face first! I have no idea why it happened, one moment I was skating upright then next I'm on the deck! I was a bit embarrassed but I laughed it off and told the man who rescued me that I only did it because I wanted my knight in shining armour to come rescue me (they have workers skating round to help ones who fall)
Anyway back to the Bucket List as in the title, I've decided I'm going to take skating lessons, they are reasonably priced and this is going to be the first of my bucket list ticked off.
Haven't added anything else yet but I am going to this weekend.
Have you made a bucket list, if so, what's on it? I'd love to hear.

A very good post but do we really want to live to reach 100?
I am 92. I feel as though I have had enough and do not want to reach even 93.. As far as some who I am close to are concerned I am just a b+++++ nuisance.

Re: Bucket List
So I've been working on my bucket list today, here is what I have, I may add to it as I go along. It's a bit of a long list LOL.No particular order:
Go to Montreux to visit the Queen Studio Experience and see Freddie’s Statue
Go to Garden Lodge in London (Freddie Home)
Take ice skating lessons
Go back and live in Spain
Conquer my fear of flying
Take singing lessons
Go watch Book of Mormon at Theatre
See my son happy in a relationship and have a child
Learn to knit or crochet or some other craft
Go on a safari and see the wildlife up close, especially Lions
Visit Rome to see all the beautiful architecture in real life
Cruise to see the Fjords
Live on so I can always take care of my Dad
Holiday to the Galapagos Islands & Peruvian Jungle
Win the lottery to be able to afford the holiday to the Galapagos Islands & Peruvian
Jungle
Keep in reasonable health
Reach retirement age
Finally, something I have always wanted to do but might sound a bit weird is to place a flower on every single grave in the graveyard my Mothers grave is in, it saddens me to know all those people are forgotten because everyone died that ever knew them. Does that sound daft? Oh well, my intention is good. I often think about it when I place flowers on my Mummys grave. RIP those people.
Some of my bucket list is achievable but others require lots of money, if I don’t achieve them in real life it’s ok to dream about them isn’t it?
