My Bucket List

We will all die. I will die. And if we all live life like we all die the next day, maybe we will live it with more meaning. I have a list of things I wish to do before I retire. Every time I feel like am already halfway, I come up with something else. This list will go on and on and on.

“Learn how to live and you'll know how to die; learn how to die, and you'll know how to live.” 
“Dying is only one thing to be sad over. Living unhappily is something else.”  

- Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
