My Bucket List

Here is an insight into TJ’s ever changing Bucket List:

For fun, I have been perusing bucket lists online, and I realize how thankful and fortunate I am because so many of the other listed bucket items are things I have actually done, before even writing my own list.
My “been there, done that” list is quite extensive, and I never want to take for granted all the beautiful opportunities that life has to offer.
From skydiving, polar bear plunge in the Great Lakes, extra in a movie, driving the US from east to west, living on an island, traveling Europe, singing to an audience, to finding in this “sea of people” the love of my life.
I have created so many more memories and experiences, and I can only hope that life bestows upon me the time to continue adding to my bucket list and the ability to check them off.
