As I am entering my last year of my 30s, I wanted to give some purpose to this year. Spending my 39th year doing the things I enjoy most, with the people I love most, and relishing in the ability to live each day to the fullest. I have created a list of 40 things that I would like to experience before actually turning 40 next February 18th. Some are things that I have done before {just not in a very long time}; some are things that have been on the back burner for decades; some are things that seem simple yet mean so much; and some are things that can only bring about the nostalgic memories of my childhood.
The theme is time. Time with family; time with friends; time with myself. Because in essence, the greatest gift to give or receive is time.
Listed below are the 40 Bucket List items {in no particular order} that I plan to spend the next 365 days living. I will share this journey with you through pictures & words; my hope is that it will inspire you to spend your time with those who make your life the best it can be, doing the things that make your heart happy & creating lasting memories of your own!
