Kick It

Daily Prompt: What’s the 11th item on your bucket list?

*

The 11th item on my bucket list is…nothing. I’ve never made a bucket list. Never thought about making one. I did things as they came to me and tried to focus on tasks one at a time.

 

But I guess I do have goals and things I wish to accomplish at some point. Never made a checklist of them however. My biggest goal is to make an impact at some level, no matter how big or small it is. How is that something I could check off on a list? Will I ever get a chance to see the seeds I plant grow? Maybe a more tangible goal is publishing a book or collection of my writings. I would definitely love to see that happen one day, though I don’t know if I’ll have the confidence to do that. Or maybe one day I’ll get to travel to different countries, such as Brazil and Korea and Japan and back to the Middle East, if I ever am able to get enough money or a job that allows me to travel in those areas. Being able to see Prince live would be amazing, though the fact that his live shows (while probably still amazing) are nowhere near as brilliant as his earlier shows is a little bit of a downer.

 

I’m sure there are other things that I would love to accomplish, if I sat down to look at it. But the fact is that I am doing things that I already love currently. Even if I never get to publish a book, writing to release stress is wonderful. Even if I never get to witness the growth of the seeds I’ve planted, I know the work I’m doing is needed at some level and somebody is happy for it. And whether or not I’ve traveled to this place or seen this show, I’m at a place that I love and I get to see the people I’ve come to love, which is great so far. And when other things come up, I’ll work on those at that time.
