So the new year has been and gone but I thought it was a good time to check-in with myself and see if my life is heading the way I want it to by compiling my ever changing bucket list. I have a travelling one too as so many of the things I want to see and do are travel related I don’t think anything else would feature!
1) Travel the world: Obviously this is on here. My travelling bucket list is available on my blog page too ( https://expeditioningloveandstuff.com/2016/11/06/ticking-off-the-bucket-list/ )
2) Live on a boat: This is something me and G were discussing quite a lot before we set off on this adventure. I think we both have a fear that anything more solid or long term such as a mortgaged house would not satisfy our lifestyle.
3) Build our own home: Now I’m not sure how long we would actually live in it but I’ve always wanted to build my own house from scratch (I mean build it myself not pay a builder to do it). As G is a joiner it would probably be a lovely timber construction and I hope this is something I will be able to tick off one day.
4) Own our own island: Now this may seem ridiculous but it’s a dream I have and after doing a bit of research it actually seems that if we both work towards it then it may just become reality. The only problem we have at the moment is I am looking in the Pacific Ocean where as G is concentrating his search in the North Sea… I hope to grind him down by the time it comes to make a final choice!
5) Be self employed: I would love to be successful in my own right. Be an entrpeneur or invent something. No idea what yet but hopefully I’ll have something in my mind ready to go home with!
6) Be self sufficient: Eventually I’d like to be living in my own self built home off the beaten track somewhere (preferably on an island) with my own grown food and small holding of animals. Solar panels, wind turbine and all the other things Eco warriors do. Not because I’m particularly an eco warrior myself but more so if the world continues to destroy itself with war and greed, I’ll be that far away and self reliant it hopefully won’t effect me as much.
7) Love and be loved in equal measure: Cut through my often hard exterior I am a big softy really and love nothing more than being loved (hopefully I have this in the bag too hehe).
8) Have children: Has to be on the list because I’m ridiculously broody and have been for nearly 10 years now!
9) Be at peace: I would love to reduce the days I have in a grumpy short tempered mood. I felt like I was well on my way to being more zen when I began to make lots of positive changes and surrounded myself with great friends. Then I started getting a little bit stressed at work and let it become a part of me again. Now I can feel all that pollution inside has melted away again and my body is completely relaxed I hope to come home being a better person again.
10) Be happy: because after all, what is life without happiness? We only get one shot so from now on I’m making it the best it can be 😀
