After seeing one post on Facebook tonight about how the person would like to take part in a flash mob and another post about your "past, present, and future self", it got me to thinking about the things that are on my "bucket list." Along with that, I also started thinking of some things I've done that would have been on my bucket list if I hadn't done them yet. :-) So, just so I have it in writing, here is my bucket list (in no particular order).
1. Perform on stage at Carnegie Hall. Completed in 1988.
2. Go on a mission trip. Commenced in 2009 (Tijuana, Mexico), continued in 2011 (Cap Haitien, Haiti), and 2012 (Dilkon, AZ); completion date TBD.
3. Own an "Earthship."
4. Participate in some type of flash mob.
5. Perform in the pit for the following musicals:
a. Cats.
b. Phantom of the Opera. Completed in 2010.
c. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Completed in 2014.
d. Les Miserables.
6. Perform Handel's "Messiah" at Christmas. Completed almost every year from 1995-2011, then again from 2014-2018.
7. Raise a daughter. Commenced in 1994; completion date: never.
8. Raise a son. Commenced in 2000; completion date: never.
9. Become a missionary in Haiti.
10. Go on an Emmaus Walk. Completed in 2006.
11. Serve on an Emmaus Team. Completed in 2007 and 2009.
12. Teach kindergarten for an online school.
13. Go to Disney World. Completed in 1984, 2012, and 2016.
14. Perform with local orchestra musicians onstage for a famous recording artist.(I had the opportunity several years ago to perform with Selah, but they weren't known yet, and I had to turn it down. Shoot!)
15. W(atthcihs moyn edaiusghptreirv adtoet utnhtei l'i'i tduhraipnpge nasn) Ohio State Football Game.
16. Own a hybrid or electric car. Completed in 2009.
17. Perform in an orchestra pit for a real Broadway production (ex. Dayton or Columbus).
This list is a work in progress, of course. I will add to it as my hopes and dreams evolve, and I hope that I get many more chances to "cross things off" of it!
