The List

So nothing significant has happened that has mad em write this blog but I thought it was time to write another blog. While "stumbling" upon websites I have recently found one that intrigued me. It is called My 50. Now I don't know how many of you have seen the Bucket List but the plot is about 2 older men that are at opposite ends of the social ladder and both find out they are dying. One starts to make a Bucket List which contains a list of things he would like to do before he kicks the bucket. The other man finds out about this and since he has more money than he know what to do with (what a problem huh?) he funds both of them to experience everything that is on the list. While I thought the movie was a little slow paced and my sister slept through most of it, it is a good movie with a good point.

Now I don't think you should have to be told you are going to die soon to make a list, and that brings me back to the website. This site is a place where people can list 50, or more or less, things that they would like to do. There is the option of setting a deadline or just leaving it open till fate sees it fit to happen. I have started a list and have not quite made 50, nor have I accomplished any, but I think it is interesting to read other peoples' lists as well. Not only do they serve as a springboard for my own ideas, but I think it is intriguing to read what other people are aspiring to do with their lives. Just some food for thought....

Oh and I have read 1 book of each author so far and now am down to 3 Picoult and 4 Spark books! I just ordered A Bend in the Road from the library so hopefully I will be starting that next week!
