Welcome to Diane's Bucket List Blog!





When I turned 50, a few months ago, I decided that at some point in my life, I had stopped dreaming of doing big things. I felt fairly content with my life, but had no more hopes or dreams. Nothing to reach for. Nothing to dream on.

Mind you, this is SO NOT ME! I've always had lists and so many dreams. Perhaps, I had completed most of my dreams, or put them to the side. Things like parasailing, traveling, going in a glider, adopting children. Those were big dreams and I've checked them off my list.

What more is there to life? So much! I just needed to create a new Bucket List!

Tiny Steps

Just some tiny steps to some of my bucket list goals.  Yesterday, when I took my standard poodle, Jacques, and my portugese water dog, Tristan, for a walk, I jogged about a fourth of the time. How did it feel?  Ok.  Not too bad.

Another on my bucket list to to teach my dogs agility.  Tristan takes to the jumping like a duck on a pond.  Jacques, on the other hand, doesn't get into the jumping as much as I would have thought.  They did stand by the jump at about 9pm last night and wanted me to play with them so more.  I had a bag of treats (always a great incentivizer!) and I would have them sit and stay on one side of the jump while I hopped over, somewhat gracefully, and then had them come to me for their treat.  They thought that was great fun!  I'll keep raising the bar until it's at the regulation level.

Towards my weight goal?  I ate my calories for the day (1,600) and went on that 30 minute walk.
