My Bucket List

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”

Though my bucket list is constantly growing (pretty soon I am going to need to clone myself to complete it all), I have decided to post my bucket list as it stands right now.
