All im asking is everyone who reads this lists a few things to do before you die. I will start.

1. Inspire people
2. Graduate from a University
3. Climb The Nose
4. Fly in Jet and break the sound barrier
5. Take a road trip Coast to Coast

Of course the list can probably go on and on but im really curious to what every one else wants. Have fun!
Cheers

What's the difference between a bucket list and a dream list?

True answer - live before you die.

I think one thing I think about is what I don't want to do. And that is become bitter. It saddens me to see & hear so many folks become so bitter over time. I'd rather be dead.

Thanks Caylor, Seriously, I would like to achieve more inner peace....

I've already done a lot in my life and for this I am thankful. I do dream of certain things, traveling to different, more exotic places, but if I don't make it there, no biggie. I agree with Crimpie, don't want to become negative and bitter, nope, do want instead to be surrounded by caring and loving people.

So my main dream and hope is to not grow old alone....

Well there you go Karen you listed one thing to do. "not grow old AlONE"

I understand where you are coming from and not wanting to let yourself down by failure, i am the same way. I thought it would be cool to see what everyone is about and what they really want to do of course the list will never be completed, it may grow or just stay the same but living is whats happening between accomplishing one and starting another.

SteveW...let's make plans here and now. We are going to a restaurant and eating dessert first. What does your week look like? Thursday is great for me.

I'm not sure I like this idea. It's nice to have goals, but they change with age/time. Kinda like New Year's resolutions, you're bound to be disappointed with failure.

Just live life. Take it as it comes.

To answer the question, I only want the best health and happiness for my family. That's all.

I only agree partly with what Hank is saying. Yeah, you gotta live first, but that is pretty obvious. You live and then you die.

Opportunities come and go. If you dont take a bite when they float by, the chance might never come again. I have lived my whole life like it was a giant pie, and tried to grab a bite of every slice. But there are still decisions and choices along the way that I look back at and go, "DAMN!!"

Usually it involved passing up some poontang, but not always.

I want my students to plan a big concert for me, like in Mr. Holland's Opus.

I want to finish writing my will and doing my estate planning so it isn't a PITA for my survivors.

I want to hunt for truffles with a pig in the South of France.
