Writer's Block: Bucket list

I don't have a bucket list.

What I would do if I have only 6 months to live is:
- Travel. Go all the places that I have ever wanted to go and see agian: Israel, Canada, Austraila, England, France, Californaia and a few other places that I might come up with.
- Give my money to charity

This question made me think of this song, "Live as if your were dying", Tim McGraw. Sometimes you need to go through hell or be told that you will die soon or something else that drastic, for you not take your life for granted and do whatever you can and embrace the moment, the life that you have.

Artist: Tim McGraw
Album: Live Like You Were Dying
Song: Live Like You Were Dying

Lyrics:

He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do

and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again

and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it'

Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying

Deborah, hi, how are you doing? quesion of "bucket list" is something almost everybody tries to avoid, people usually don't want to talk about things like that.. i think it is like what you said, let's face it, live your life as much as we could, "1 life, live it !".. this is a slogan of a Telco company M1 in Singapore.. it makes sense actually..

** hey, i like your blog design, pretty cool !
Cheers & keep in touch

traveling to far off places after selling off all my stuff, spend spend spend, especially on credit card ensuring that none of my remaining family get hit for the bill :D,
