Picture this:
A much younger Kelly sitting cross legged on the floor of her bedroom, pen in hand, making a list of the things she has already done and creating a list of the things she wants to do: #5 Fall in love. #16 Laugh until I cry. #20 Be a Mom. #37 Receive a love letter. #41 Miss someone so bad it hurts ......
Essentially making a bucket list for myself. I've gone back to this list numerous times over the past fifteen years; checking things off, adding new things; asking myself "What were you thinking?!?", but it had been awhile. So, whether spurred by the discovery of my first gray hair or by my fastly approaching 30th birthday, I went rummaging a few weeks ago in search of said bucket list, sat down and read it. Its funny to see how far I've come and how much I've changed by simply reading these pieces of paper.
Anyway, getting back to the point....So, after reading and then re-reading my list I couldn't help but notice that #73 kept jumping out at me. And that's when it hit me, time to get back to crossing things off my list. I had taken about a five year hiatus, done some things that I could cross off my list but just hadn't actually put the line on the paper, gotten busy with life; you know, the normal excuses, but no more. The decision had been made. Time to revisit the bucket list, start marking things off, blog about it all and heck, why not start with #73!
I know, you guys are wondering, "What the heck is #73?".
#73. Take a cooking class in Paris
That's right, Paris!! My flight is booked, my hotel reservations are...well, that's another story, but you get the point. I'll spend 10 luxurious days putting around Paris; exploring, eating, cooking, drinking wine....are you jealous yet?
Stay tuned for more...
