Kick Me!
AnyWhere, USA – Not long after hearing about the 2007 blockbuster movie “The Bucket List”, my spouse-mate and I decided to start our own Bucket List Club.
We thought the idea of having on-going lists of things we each wanted to do before we “kicked the bucket” was a cool idea.
Taking that one step further, starting or joining a Bucket List Club is a great way of regularly getting together with other Bucketeers to discuss and share ideas, review and add to your lists, as well as check-off the items you’ve already accomplished.
Just remember that it’s never too early (or too late) to start a list of things you would like to do or accomplish before you kick the proverbial can.
Here are 25 fun ideas you may want to consider adding to your own Bucket List (if they’re not already on it), or at least these may get your creative juices flowing to brainstorm some others, that you can perhaps share at our next meeting.
- Check-in to a homeless shelter and spend the night.
- Follow a police car around until it pulls over.
