A Bucket List

I want to be just like Sebastian Terry when I grow up! Terry is a twenty-nine Australian who is doing something fantastic: He has made up a list of 100 things he wants to do in his lifetime and he is documenting his count-down on his blog. His motivation comes from the death of a close friend five years ago. Terry decided to write down everything that was important to him and his list of 100 things was created. He dropped everything, and with $9000 in the bank, he began to cross items off his bucket list. One of the things he wanted to do was #23 - deliver a baby. He will soon cross that item off his list. Last week, Sebastian Terry flew to Regina from Australia to assist a midwife with a delivery. He hopes to have half of his list completed by the end of 2010. His progress can be tracked at http://www.100things.com.au/. Having the determination to create a "bucket list" and the dedication to complete it . . . it's a good thing!
