Many people have a bucket list. I personally have no need for one. I try to enjoy everything life throws my way and find joy in everything I do and in everyone I meet.
I place more importance on relationships. I work on making my relationship with my loved ones better everyday.
Trips and journeys are fun, I plan them often, but these are for enhancing relationships than for the trips themselves.
Adventures are great but they mean more when they are undertaken with loved ones.
Work is awesome, it brings the bread and butter to the table, but what is a splendid spread if you have to eat it alone.
Success is thrilling but when you have no one to share your highest moments with, it falls flat.
And the end of the journey called life what counts is the basics, not the frills and the thrills.
This made me come to the conclusion that what ultimately matters is how you live today

Yes, you are right, and many successful people are loners because they left everything and everybody in order to be successful
That is true as well, as the saying goes its always lonely at the top.
That’s a great point of view!
But Ellie do you have a bucket list?
Here is something related to this post: “Beating yourself is much more important than beating someone else!”
there is a song by Tug McGraw, A bull named Katmandu that talks about the importance of living for now.
i agree!
I love writing about living in the now since I have benefited a lot from this. I have never heard the song though.
it is all about living like you are dying! that today is the last day you have.
Puts things in perspective right?
it really does make things fit together = we are often wound around the direction and forget the path.
Absolutely Doc, can’t agree with you more.
I also have no use for bucket lists. Being old and retired I enjoy everyday and just keep on crafting like cross stitch, crochet and tatting right now… I also enjoy the company of my dear sweet cat Runt or President Runt as I often call him…
Hmm.. looks like you are having a great time. I wish people knew this secret of yours.
Yes I understand. I live each day to its fullest if possible and if it’s not such a good day, I hold out hope for a better tomorrow.
Great philosophy for life. That is how I see life as well.
