The old Bucket list.

The “new” Bucket list is getting longer and longer. I have been crossing things off and adding more on. Everything I cross off, every new experience, leads me to find more things to add and more things to try. I started the list in 2017 and it’s brought me a lot of joy. It’s forced...

Bucket list update: 532. Have my hair cut short.

I’ve had long hair since I was able to make my own decision on my hair cuts; so since I was about 13. That’s 14 years of long hair, it’s not just long it’s thick as a lions mane. And has been abused for years. There’s something strange about long thick hair. Everyone wants to...

Bucket list update: 457. Start a herb garden.

I’ve always liked the idea of cooking with something I’ve grown. I love the look of fresh herbs, they always look so green and healthy. But I’m not particularly green fingered which is what’s always put me off attempting it! However after discarding some mint cuttings from a plant I had in the kitchen in...

Bucket list update: 29.Be able to do a handstand for 10 seconds or more

Remember the days you did cartwheels and handstands with no fear of falling, arrow springs and rollypollys with no fear of hurting yourself. I use to be able to walk on my hands and all sorts but as a grown up I have always been too chicken to try any of it ! I lost...

2019 Monthly Challenge : June

At the start of the year I gave myself a list of things I wanted to do every single month of 2019. The list is seemingly random , but each item was carefully picked. I wanted to focus on making the most out of the year; corny I know! But I wanted 2019 to be...

Bucket list update: 451. Practice mindfulness every day for a week.

If you have never come across mindfulness it’s a way of being more present. Mindfulness gives you the chance to untangle yourself from your thoughts and gain some perspective. It encompasses you focusing on how you feel and what you are experiencing in the moment. It enables you to empty your brain of all the...

Bucket list update: 300. Be able to do at least 3 Pull ups!

I successfully managed 3 pull-ups!! I think it my have been a bit of a fluke but I did it. I popped into the gym and had a go after a Zumba session and managed three unaided. I set myself such a low goal because my upper body strength is almost nonexistent. I’m working as...

Bucket list update: 36. Help someone to complete something on their bucket list.

Another little, but important, thing crossed off the list. This one was so important to me because so many people have helped me cross things off my long list of dreams, wishes and goals. They have supported me, encouraged me and have been part of the journey. It’s great to know I’ve helped someone else...

Bucket list update: 243. Be in a dog show with Duke.

We have come such a long way with our beastie! Although I would never wish to “show” my dog (we both don’t have enough discipline for that) it’s a great feeling to be able to show that all our work has taken some effect. Our boy Duke. I wanted to take part in a local...
