What’s on Your Bucket List
Have you ever created a bucket list? You may not think too often about crossing over but I’m sure you have things that you’d like to get done before you kick the bucket.
This is sort of like a list of goals put in writing. It will keep you motivated and you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment as you cross each one off your list.
