Follow Up: 2015 Not Going to Kick the Bucket; Have Fun & Live List

I originally posted a “Not Going to Kick the Bucket; Have Fun & Live List” in 2015.

Life happens. Sometimes things go the way we hope, sometimes they don’t.

We can set goals or have hopes and dreams. Sometimes we reach all of our goals and our dreams come true; sometimes it doesn’t all pan out.

As you will see below, I did not complete my 2015 Have Fun & Live, Not Going to Kick the Bucket List. Oh well, this is life and it is what I make of it. I am going to make a new list and will post it soon.

Here is the original 2015 list. I will mark each one that I managed to check off of the list. Looks like I left a lot undone:
