The Bucket List

So, I haven't written in a very long time. I guess I'm bad at consistency. But I do have some travel coming up, with the Dew Tour this weekend at Killington, Vermont. I'm heading up there this weekend with Dan and some friends. I'll be up on the side of the half-pipe as always and I'll be sure to take as many pictures as I can.

But that's not what I want to write about today. I often come across posts on websites and facebook about creating a bucket list of all the things you want to do. There is often a limiting number and some other rules about what can be included in this bucket list, like categories.

I never fill out these lists. I hate to think of putting boundaries on the things I will do in my life. I don't like to categorize my activities, and since my interests change so often, I don't think it would even be possible. A few years ago, I may have thought it would be nice to go to an action sports event, but I doubt I would have thought I'd do it. And to think that I would actually like to go snowshoeing? Who knew.

I have no idea what I want to do or what amazing things I will see in my life. I think that is the fun part. My interests are always changing and I am always surprised by the opportunities that are presented to me and turn into amazing new opportunities.

So, I won't be making a bucket list, but I will keep traveling. I will be checking out all the places I can and I will jump at the opportunities that I come across. Some of the most amazing things I have done have been the most random and have popped up in the weirdest places.

My hope for you is that you keep your eyes open and jump at the opportunities you come across, even in your own backyard. You never do know what is just around the corner.
