My Bucket List – Take 1
When I was first diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer, I narrowed down many of my life-long dreams into one short bucket list:
1. Get my dream kitchen.
2. Publish a book.
3. Go to Maui for our 20th anniversary.
4. Fit into my Oprah dress.
5. Get a patio set and concrete poured in the back yard.
They say if you write goals down, they happen. It must be true:
1. Someday.
2. Check.
3. Check.
4. Yeah, we’re not discussing this one.
5. Patio set… check. Concrete… prepping the ground as we speak.
