My Bucket List

I finally watched the 'Bucket List'. It has been on my list of must-watch movies but I can't ever find the time. Surprisingly, I managed to find time during 'one of those days' when you feel awful and just don't wanna get out of bed and I'm glad I did. I was in tears throughout the movie.
I don't know whether the movie made me feel better or worse but I did learn a thing or two to take with me in life.

One of the lines that caught my attention was about death (of course) and how death is viewed.
The ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance of heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not.
‘Have you found joy in your life?’ 'Has your life brought joy to others?'
I believe that these are questions we should ask ourselves everyday.

As such I have come up with my bucket list:

i) To witness something majestic
ii) To feel so much joy & contentment in my heart (that I'm ready to leave the world)
iii) To have my dad walk me down the aisle to the man whom promises me a life full of laughter and affection
iv) To help a total stranger
v) To kiss the MOST beautiful boy in the world
vi) To bungee jump/sky-diving
vii) To see the pyramid of Giza
viii) To experience Prague & Athens

and the list will be grow over time....as I decide what else I want in my life before I hit the bucket.
