There’s a new movie out called The Bucket List. It stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It’s about two strangers who share a common fate…they both have only 6 months to live. They decide to do what one of their high school professors suggested all those years ago – make a list of everything they want to do before they "kick the bucket."

What they learn in the process is the importance of chasing their dreams and finding the joy in life. Fifteen years ago I made a bucket list and I still have it and review it today. I want to share some of the items on it with you in hopes that it will inspire you to do the same. Life is short. We think we have all the time in the world and then suddenly we don’t. I challenge you to make your bucket list and start chasing your dreams. It’s never too late!
