Bucket List - Where will your's take you??

I'm not sure if I am the only one out there, besides a few others I know, that actually have a Bucket List!? I found it shocking that as I was talking about it at Christmas time that a lot of people thought it to be morbid, or strange, that at my age, I have a Bucket List! I also have a fairly large Bucket List, 100 things to be exact! I am fairly proud of a lot of them also! Some of them are so very simple, writing letters to loved ones, learning how to do something, or going to certain places. Some of them are very heartfelt, dancing with my husband, seeing the sunset on the beach, have one whole day with just myself and each one of my family members. And some are to help be grow, learn and build one what I already know and do. Make a self portrait, be a healthy weight, write a book (doesn't have to be published, just write it), and run in a 1/2 Marathon and a Marathon! Yea, a lot of these are simple, like eat an entire meal with Chop Sticks, however, have you ever sat and thought about the things in your life that could, and or would make a difference, or just open you mind to new or different experiences that you would have previously not done? It can open your whole world!

I am looking to add a few more things onto my list, so if you have any ideas, some off the wall ones are good too, you can let me know! But over this next year I will be doing a series of different things on my Bucket List that I will try and include you all in on! One of which I will be starting on the 1st day of the year 2014, I will be taking a "selfie" pic or have a picture taken of me every day for the entire year! Life has definitely shown me that things can change in an instant, and I want to document every step!! Bad or good, beautiful or not, sick or healthy, I want to see, I want to show everyone that no matter what, life will go on!

Also in the year 2014 I will be finishing up (hopefully) one of my bucket list items that I started in the year 2013! I have vowed to learn how to make 365 new dishes! It can be a simple dish, to an elaborate dish, breads, full meals, desserts, etc.... No matter what I will open my eyes to new meals, tastes, and cultures! This has been SO much fun so far, I will make sure I find some of my previous Favorites and post them for all of you to experience yourselves!

Adding to the previous ones, I will attempt a self portrait, hopefully have a spa day (never been to the spa!), and run my first ever Half Marathon! Yea, yea I know, it seems a little extreme, a self portrait! I know it might take me all year to do it! hahaha I can not wait to see the finish product of that!

Some time early in the new year, I hope to post a list of my bucket list, and completed items so I can hopefully expand my horizons even further! Please feel free to share any ideas with me! You can respond to me on here or:
