Some people call them bucket list. I choose to give it a different spin. Team TLC is calling ours an Adventure List! That’s right! Last week I gave a map book to Thomas and Lillian and told them to make a list of everywhere in the World they want to visit. Then I told them to make a list of everything they want to have, be or do.
The following is my Adventure List. It’s continually being added to so I will designate a dedicated page on this website for our Adventure Lists.
This is a list of experiences I want to have, be or do. They are in absolutely no particular order. I simply write them down as inspired.
Let me be clear. I make this list with detachment. If I get to experience these items then WooooHooooo. If not, then WoooooHoooooo. I’m still a happy and peaceful person. The way I see it, my happiness comes from within.
