Because my life is so centered around eating right, working out and staying healthy, I’ve decided to create a list of things I want to do before I die. I need to make sure that I take time to smell the roses and do something new. After all, life is for living. I don’t want it to pass me by. So this is a list I’ve constructed of all the things I have on my bucket list. Of course the list will get longer as I think of more things but hopefully it will also get smaller as I can cross things off.
