Mindful Living: Making time for a bucket list

"If we look into our lives, we will see clearly how many
unimportant tasks, so called 'responsibilities' accumulate
to fill them up. One master compares them to 'housekeeping
in a dream.' We tell ourselves we want to spend time on the
important things of life, but there never is any time.
" -- Tibetan teacher Sogyal Rinpoche

This is too true, especially for me.

What would I do if I had enough time? (Maybe I can implement these things a little at a time, deliberately, through my life - and MAKE time because I am sure most of the stuff on my "to-do" list probably aren't CRUCIAL, I just think they are because that's part of who I am...anxious...worried...and overly productive?).
  1. Have a dog
  2. Paint a mural on a wall
  3. Zip-Lining
  4. Travel to Europe
  5. Visit Tibet
  6. Explore Australia (See Kangaroos in their natural environment!)
  7. Go to Kenya and see Giraffes in their natural environment
  8. Have a pet domesticated fox
  9. Really get into shape
  10. Visit P.E.I., Canada
  11. Go on a Cruise
  12. Disneyland
  13. Go to California
  14. Climb a Mountain
  15. See Northern Lights
  16. Cherry Blossoms in Japan
  17. Learn to properly drive a manual car
  18. Learn to swim better
I am sure there is more, but this is what I've come up with off the top of my head.
