I seem to be inspired by quite a few blogs lately- mostly about their goals, what they're thankful for... And it helps me reassess my own situation, put things into perspective. So, one blogger began her list, and it inspired my own short term list, contributing to a lot of items on the life Bucket List.
I hand wrote them to begin, and then changed a few as I typed them up. A lot self-improvement and experience, and some are monetary- I tried to keep the monetary ones minimal, but some truly did require it. The travel ones came easily because I, simply speaking, like to travel. Blame my mom. And I tried to have my list include as much experience experienced with Mr. V.
