My own thoughts and methods in this regard are more in the line of: Why would an individual ever wait to experience the riches of life? One need not have an expensive or lengthy list to experience LIFE'S amazing gifts. We just need to slow down and recognize LIFE for the precious gift that it is all on its own. It's as simple to me as just appreciating the small things each day, which we so often overlook because we are too busy or we yearn for something greater and grander. Actually, actively "living," each day to its fullest, is pretty amazing all on its own! The sun as it is setting in the western sky on a glorious evening, the extra hour of sleep curled up next to the one we love on our day off, a walk in God's glorious kingdom be it the mountains, deserts, or waters can be enjoyed by all. Even city streets have a magic if you choose to look for it.
These simple things are there for the taking, yet how many of us really make an effort to recognize them for what they are? So, here's what I'm suggesting:
Each day this week, write down at least one thing you did that day that you normally would have taken for granted. At the end of the week, you have a wonderful LIVING LIST. Maybe, this is better than a "bucket list!" Try it; what is there to lose?
Life is good. Sue
