After many years of writing, sometimes you need to revisit your older posts to see where you have been, know how you arrived at where you are and make a plan for where you are going. At times these posts may have been forgotten, but are worth remembering because they have helped create the journal of My Bucket List Journey.
1. My First Post
My first post was "Bucket List Item #1 Learn Italian". All I can say is be kind and remember that this was my FIRST somewhat pathetic post! It's funny to me that, at the time, I felt that I had a clear direction of what I wanted my blog to be. Now, what it has morphed into is so much more amazing than that!
2. The Post I Enjoyed Writing the Most
Easy peasy lemon squezzy! That's not the name of the post, just an indication that I didn't have to put any thought into my choice. On my 40th birthday I wrote the post "Write a Letter to your Future Self", it is a beautiful letter about exactly how I felt at that point in my life. Reading it always puts a tear in my eye and I am determined to write a letter on every birthday.
3. My Most Rewarding Post
Last Christmas, my husband and I organized a toy drive at our restaurant where we collected 108 toys for Toys for Tots. I wrote the post "Donate Toys at the Holidays" in hopes of inspiring others to add this goal to their bucket lists.
4. A Post on Someone Else's Blog That I Wish I Had Written
Ramblings of a Woman wrote an inspiring post called "Someday is a Dangerous Word". It epitomizes what Bucket Lists are all about, changing the word "someday" to "now".
5. A Post I Can't Wait to Write
I can't wait to write a post about how I am in the Guinness Book of World Records for doing something crazily wonderful!
6. A Post that I Wish More People Read
"16 Ways to Stay Motivated" is a post that most goal oriented people would benefit from. I have to read it from time to time in order to give my motivation a kick in the butt!
7. My Most Visited Post
I wrote the post "Ride a Zip Line" after going to Costa Rica and checking this item off my bucket list.
Since your 16 Ways to Stay Motivated post was listed as the one you wish more people had read, I tweeted it.. hopefully that'll get others to read it — the post itself is motivating
By the way, I'm here from SITS #31DBBB
Hello Annette, I've really enjoyed reading your blog. I created my first Bucket List almost 11 years ago, on my 16th birthday, and I've been adding to it ever since. Enjoy x'ing out the rest of your list!
Thanks so much for the tweet! I visited your site and left a comment. I loved the post about vlogging.
Great list, and great blog! There are lots of things I want to check out on here… and I think I might copy the list idea soon. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I checked out your blog too and am excited to see what’s going to be on your bucket list!
Wow, how did you find me so quickly after I wrote my bucket list post today??
Thanks for stopping by!
I like the list you left on my blog – I will be adding a couple of those to mine in short order! I'm off to read some of your posts right now
great list! I'm kind of afraid to make a bucket list…so I have a kind of 'aspire' list, I guess. I love the zip line photo! I visited a friend in Singapore, but didn't realize till after I got back that there is one of the longest zip lines in the world on an Island off Singapore, an Island I was at..I would have sooo done it! oh well, next time!
