update at 1:28 my time----All these comments are making me feel like a ROCK STAR.
Hi SITS gals!!! Thank you for visiting. I'd like to return the favor, so.....I don't know how to do the fancy linky dinky thing.... but if anyone sends me a link by comment, I'd love to have some links to your own bucket lists to add to my post! Just send me your name and the URL where I can find your list! See what you can dream up about your own fabulous future!
Before I die, I want to:
1.) be the kind of person that sells things at a farmers market
2.) be a published writer and live in Port Townsend
3.) be the type of person who raises little bohemian children with color and character
5.) to someday live close again to my mom, sisters, aunt, and grandmother
6.) Sing in public
7.) see a pod of whales up close
8.) Swim with dolphins again.
9.) do medical missionary work in another country
10.) See Italy
11.) walk along a stone wall in Ireland
12.) send my parents on a trip to another country
13.) make a quilt
14.) get my dog to walk on a leash without pulling my arm out of the socket
15.) take my kids to Disneyland
16.) be a vegan again
17.) learn how to play an instrument
18.) see Bigfoot J
19.) be a doula
20.) wear a bathing suit in public and not be ashamed
21.) someday live a life where I wake with the sun, stroll outside, and spend my day gardening, writing, and picking berries with my dog at my side.
22.) give my children and grandchildren a home with sunlight through their curtains, the smell of fresh bread, and a sense of magic and earthiness in their days with me.
23.) be IN the world, but never OF the world.
24.) be a funky old lady
25.) never again have a migraine
26.) go on a trip with my sisters
27.) own a boat
28.) do a marathon (notice I didn’t say “run”)
29.) be a foster parent
30.) help my children plan their weddings
31.) make a fairy land in the woods for my grandkids to find.
32.) spend a summer working at an animal sanctuary full time
33.) raise children who are compassionate and fiery.
34.) go to a U2 concert
35.) see the Northern Lights in Alaska.
36.) Volunteer to nurture babies in orphanages around the world
37.) teach my daughter that her inner beauty and the love of Christ are truly what make her a lovely and fulfilled person. Nothing or nobody else!
38.) teach my son the value of being a man with a warm, laughing spirit with his heart always listening for God’s messages.
39.) be confident,
40.) be curious
41.) be inspired
42.) and be forever mindful of my many precious gifts.
Amen!

Great list. I definitely do need to make one of these. Nice idea! :)
Stopping by from SITS!
This is fun and what a great list... I need to think a little more to make a more complete list:
I do want to have another baby though, and travel to so many more places... Italy, Australia, Frace, etc!!

What a great idea. Happy SITS day.
I MAY JUST CUT AND PASTE YOUR LIST--ALL YOUR IDEAS SOUND GOOD TO ME! CONGRATS ON YOUR SITS DAY!
Happy SITS day! Your list is very inspiring. Have a great day!
Great list. I used to do one of these every year - updating what I had done and adding new things I wanted to do, but then I had a baby and haven't done it since! I should really do one, though.

Happy SITS day!
Love the bucket list (and a great idea for a post). I could relate to so many things on your list...no more migraines, wanting to see the Northern Lights, interested in being a doula, wanting earthiness, to sell in a farmer's market and to be involved in foster/orphanage care (We are awaiting our daughter from China...), just to name a few.
I've just read 4 of your posts and can't get enough...so I'm following you now!
Happy SITS day! What a great list! There are many things on your list that would be on mine as well. Going to check out more of your blog now - enjoy your day!
Hello! Stopping by from SITS. I think these are greats things to want to do! I wish I could wear a bathing suit in public as well and not be ashamed, along with being a foster parent someday, and many more of the things on your list! Have a great Monday!
Congrats on your sits day!! :))
Teh Northern lights are on my list too! :)
love the answers to your list! Have a wonderful Monday!
Great list! I would love to foster some day too.. :)

Happy SITS Day! I've often thought about making a bucket list, but I really have NO idea what I would put on it.
Congrats on your SITS day!!
Congrats on your SITS day! I don't have a bucket list but I agree with you completely on #23! Enjoy your special day. :)
Happy SITS day! I love your list, I'm trying my best to grow into being a "funky old lady!" lol Have a great day!
That is a really great list. I need to make one. Love your blog :) Hope you have a great day~
How funny!!!!! I was thinking about making a bucket list post this week sometime.
Love your list! Italy will be on mine as well. So are the northern lights.
There is so much to do and experience, things that can't be experienced just by looking at pictures of it on Flickr ;)
Happy SITS day to you!
I love #24! : )
Love your list! Whenever I try to write one of these, I go blank, but yours has some things on it that had never occurred to me. Mind if I steal a couple? Especially that fairy land--maybe you could elaborate on that one a bit...
Wow! I love your list and would want 95% of it on my list! I don't know who Bigfoot J is and I don't have a son :)
I totally want to wear a bathing suit and not feel ashamed! After I have this baby I'm working it all off.....I hope! :)
Congrats on being featured!!!!
What a good idea! Your list is so giving..that is awesome. Happy SITS day!
Awesome list! I was planning on making one of these myself but everytime i wanted to start off, something else came across.. oh well i need to make time for it asap!
Happy Monday!
(coming here from SITS)
love your list! i hope my kid becomes a bohemian too. as for being a doula..i have had the wonderful opportunity and experience to do it twice. words can't describe how rewarding it is. but its tough when you have your own little ones.
Wonderful bucket list...contrats on your SITS feature!
What a thoughtful list...
I'd like to visit Italy as well someday!
Happy SITS Day to ya.... ;)
Hi again, love the list idea... intriguing thought! xJ
Great list, you have a few on there I want to do too.
Definitely an inspiring and great list. I think we should all have life goals no matter how simple or complex. What a great read for a Monday morning.
Congrats on your SITS Day!!
Great list as well!
Awesome list!! Congratulations on your SITS day!! :)
Happy SITS Day! Love your blog design;)
sounds like a great list! happy sits day :-D
Thanks for sharing the list, I will have to work on mine and get back to you.
Congrats on being the FB on SITS today! What a great "Bucket List" you shared! Have a good one!
Happy SITs Day.
I like your list. I'd also love to see the Northern Lights in Alaska. I hear they're beautiful.
absolutely lovely! Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
I particularly love #37...and hope that you'll take a huge step towards accomplishing this by checking #20 off your list as complete. I don't know you -- but I can already tell you are a beautiful person with no need to be ashamed. :)
I love your list - I need to make another of those!
Your list is fantastic and makes me want to make one of my own!
Happy sits day to you!!!!!
I love your list! I totally want to be a funky old lady too. What a fun blog....thanks for some great Monday morning procrastination.....um, reading. No, it really kind of is procrastination. I am "checking my email once" before cleaning the bathrooms but somehow drifted over to SITS, then drifted over here....
Stopping in from SITS. Great blog you have. I should create a list. Happy Monday.
Your bucket list is wonderful. I've made them in the past but haven't for many years. You have inspired me to do one again.
When my father retired, he made one and did most of the things on the list before he had a massive heart attack and died. The day before he died he played his best golf game ever...I'm pretty sure that was on his list as well.
Wonderful list!
I love your list. Visiting Ireland and Italy are on mine too. Blessings to you. Such a beautiful post.
Awesome list! Sounds like you are a Fritter Chick to me! Visiting from SITS! Love your blog, especially the vibrant colors! Have a great one!
Great list! Happy SITS day! Can't wait to read more!
What a wonderful list!! I hope you can mark everything off your list one day. I want to make my own list now. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy SITS day!
Awesome list!!! Usually people have crazy weird ones on here, but these ones are all great! Change 41 to "Inspire someone" and you'll have it done because you just inspired me :)
Great list! Happy SITS day!!! I can't wait to look around a bit!
Happy Sitsta day!...great blog. hugs rozzi
Congratulations on "Your Day"! Love the list, and have about a zillion additions to it, but if I have to just select one . . .
Watch my grandchildren graduate from college!
Speaking of grandchildren - please come see my new one!

Good list, interesting blog.
That's quite the list! Mine also includes service in a 3rd world country. My sister just did that and had an amazing experience.
great list - i only had 4 things on mine and i've already completed them all
Well, your bucket list tells a lot about you and is a great post. Seems we have some things in common. 10th grade English teacher over here in Hawaii who wished I lived closer to my mom and sister (or had a free pass to the airlines). I also would love to take a year off and just write...
I like your list! Congrats to being today's FB over at SITS!
Happy Feature Day! I adore your bucket list...#22 made me a little teary eyed. Enjoy your day :)
Congrats on SITS day!! I am in love with your list. You sound like a soul sister. It definitely made me think about a list for myself... Have a blessed day:)
Happy SITS Day! What an awesome list Momma Chae! Made me really think of what I would add to mine. Your list tells me you have a huge caring, loving, gentle and spiritual heart.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Debbie

Great list!! I'd love to be a doula too, but my hubby works shift work, and my kids are too young to be on their own all night. sigh.... One day.
Happy SITS day. :) I think that is a wonderful list to put up....and start crossing off. Good luck!
Stopping by from SITS to say hello!
I'll be doing one of these lists eventually...Guess that's at the top of my Bucket List: Make a bucket list. :-)
Happy SITS day!
Congrats on being featured today! Cute Blog. Great list. I'm taking my husband to see U2 this October for his Birthday, we just got the tickets now. We just did a series at our church called the Gospel according to U2, he's the music Pastor and they covered a U2 song each week! It rocked!
Happy SITS day!! Great list...I have to say I have done a few of those (like Italy and U2) and would like to do a few of those myself too (Ireland, grandparenting one day). Have a great Monday!

Great list. I have never taken the time to make a list! Wonder what I would put down?
Have fun on your SITS day!
Great bucket list:)
This list was very touching and like many before me have said. This is really something I should do. I have a top 5 things to do before I die. But that is as far as I have gotten with visualization.

What a beautiful heart you have Momma Chae! I adore your list! Perhaps I will run into you whist doing some of these items, preferably number 36.
Blessings!

Hey, happy SITS day!
I love your bucket list. There's a lot of big aspirations there but a lot of simple ones too. Hope you stick to it. You can do it!
I LOVE your list, and all the deep thought you put into each item. No list for me, guess I'm just living by the seat of my pants and enjoying the ride. I just know you're gonna do many, or perhaps all of the things you dream of.
Cool list! Hope you're having a fabulous SITS day!
Happy SITS day! I love your bucket list. I've been meaning to do one up but still haven't gotten around to it.
