Yesterday I discussed a Bucket List of places I want to visit, today I want to discuss a Bucket List of things I want to Do in my Life Time. Some of these items of course will also require travel while others may not. I am also not a thrill-seeker, you will never see me adding Sky Diving to my list. I am not into that kind of stuff and never will be.

Even though creating a bucket list is a good reminder of the things you want to accomplish make sure you are not creating a list of things that are completely unattainable, you also do not want to set yourself up for disappointments. Some studies even show making a Reverse Bucket List is even better. A reverse bucket list is making a list of everything you have achieved and accomplished.

With that said I still want to make a list of items I would like to accomplish in my lifetime, while most of these are attainable a lot of them will require years of hard work and I also have to be realistic that not everything will always go as planned.

So here is a list of some of the things i would like to accomplish in my life time:

• To see the Aurora Borealis – As it happens this is on the docket for this year as one of our trips, we will be traveling to Alaska.
• To Volunteer at an Archaeological Dig – Ever since I was little I wanted to be an Archeologist but it is a field I felt was always out of my reach academically, now that I am older I realized too late that I could have followed this dream if I had just really applied myself and not given up. With that said apparently, there are opportunities to volunteer at digs even if you are not educated in the field. I would like to do this someday.
• Fly in a Hot Air Balloon – This is actually something that is available in my own town but frankly, I would rather have better views, our area is just flat and filled with farmland.
• Collect Ancient Manuscripts – My husband and I collect antique books but we would love to one day own a book that is several hundred years old. These are pricey and harder to find.
• Stay at a Disney Monorail resort – As it turns out we will also be doing that this year for the first time ever.
• To stay in an actual medieval castle – Surprisingly this is a thing and you can even find them on Air B&B.
• Create my own Vegetable garden in my backyard – This will be much harder than it seems because I do have a black thumb when it comes to growing anything outside of my Aerogarden.
• To One day Commission, a dress from FireFly Path – This seems more frivolous but I love the work from this seamstress and have wanted to commission a dress for years.
• Be Debt-Free – This would help and be able to accomplish most of what is on this list.
• Retire Early – Though this would be great this would require a lot of hard work and a lot of saving and investing.

Those are the main things I would like to accomplish, I feel like all of those are attainable and realistic.
