Age Nine Bucket List

Mountains to climb Jungles to explore Species to discover Rivers to ford An astronaut one day Generalissimo the next Concert pianist on Saturday Standing ‘O’ at the Met… My bucket list at nine worked out just fine None of it achieved No reason to grieve

That's right. Think of all the careers we considered before age ten!

bucket lists for youngsters? Now that's a thought for elementary school teachers...hmmm...anyway, I don't recall having much of a 'bucket list' at nine. All I wanted was to read, write, play with my dolls, jump rope, and annoy my younger brother. Life was full then :-) smiles, Sara

Hey, you could have given 'Kick the bucket' a whole new meaning, Sara. Keep smiling, gw
