My bucket list

flying in a hot air balloon is one of the many things on my bucket list

Good morning! Today, I'm nursing a slight hangover from last night, but there is nothing in the world that could dampen my high spirits and excitement from going on holiday in less than 24 hours! :-)

In the meantime, I've decided to share my "bucket list" with you. My “bucket list” (I was inspired after watching the Jack Nicholson movie of the same name), is an ongoing list to which I will be adding more as time passes, and hopefully I will be crossing more off the list (achieved), as and when.

Some goals are easily attainable, while others may seem somewhat unrealistic. Even so, I aspire to accomplish all of these things (and more!). A bucket list should reflect one's individual true passions, interests and desires, and not just be filled with stuff that other people talk and dream about unless it truly reflects your aspirations.

I find dreams and goals to be completely necessary, and something that all of us should have to keep us inspired, help push our individual limits and challenge ourselves on a daily basis. Here is my list:
