    What a great question! I've wondered this myself.

    I was diagnosed shortly after checking items #1, 2 & 3 off my list. The emotional conflict of being glad I'd gotten to do them, and sad that I might not get to continue on down my list was HUGE. But those were the dark days. I'm looking forward to #4 now, and even adding things to the bottom! I don't ever want to finish!

    Hi again..good to see Celia and Bren...long time no chat!!

    I had a long list , 4 Continents, 15 countries, many other things...but the last two were visiting

    all 50 states and Glacier National Park...so I was left with ND missing and Glacier...the last time

    we drove across country, last summer, I still had those last two things..then I got cold feet and said

    maybe I should just leave the last state forever so I could say to myself I had one more thing...

    Needless to say, we did both last June..so I have finished...

    Finishing all the things on your bucket list means just one thing:

    time to write another list.

    SoCalLisa, #4 on my list is a nice long European River Boat cruise, perhaps Budapest to Amsterdam. Any suggestions from your travels? 

    #'s 1, 2, & 3 were (don't laugh, please) marrying my husband who had been my high school sweetheart MANY years ago (we'll celebrate #12 soon), seeing Big Ben in London's proverbial fog, and seeing Andy Williams perform in person (did you know he's 80 years old and still going strong? Amazing!)... 

    Now, I'd be interested to hear what's on others' too!

    I want to hold a granchild in my arms (at least 2 out of 4 kids got married this year so I'm closer!)

    I wanted to reno my kitchen (just need one more unit and kickplates put in! woo hoo!)

    That's all I have left, it scares me too....

    They say you don't stop dreaming because you get old, but you get old because you stop dreaming!

    I'm gonna keep at least one on my list at all times. I've travelled a lot, too, but no desire to lately.

    I've scuba dived, rode my own motorcycle, drove a tractor trailer across North America (me driving), was a police auxiliary for SEVEN years, went back to university, uh, tons of stuff. I like to challenge myself and stretch my comfort zone. I'm not going to lie on my death bed saying shoulda/coulda!!!

    I thought that I would chime in on bucket list items.

    Last year I went ziplining on the second longest zip line in the U.S.  Fantastic.  Before you think you may be unable, a great-grandmother and grand-daughter did it too when I was there!

    This year I am fulfilling my son's request to continue overcoming fears and am going to (gulp) skydive.  When I heard that former Pres. George H W Bush did it for his 80th birthday, I figured I had no real excuse to give my son!

    Next year, I hope to take scuba lessons and make a dive in the Texas Gulf as a tribute to my father who died at age 29 diving.

    No, I don't think so! 

    Also, I've started writing a second bucket list--this one is for things I would like to do after I die.  Top of the list is dance lessons with Michael Jackson.

    I am just starting to think about a bucket list.  I want to go to Italy, I want to see the mountains, and I want to see the Pacific Ocean.

    I would love to ride in a limo, go on a cruise and see a book published with me as the author.  I am working on #3 but have barely started.  I put my name in for a scholarhip for the breast cancer cruise and they sent me back that I was registered.  Im not sure what that means.  As for the limo.... I cant think of any reason to be in one.  You'd think that would be the easy one.

    Dreamwriter,

    Who really needs a reason?  How about a girls night out in a limo?  They can come stocked with food, beverages and movies!

    First post here - I've been reading a lot, though! I just had to chime in here, because I'm signed up to go on a Tudors tour in England in May. When I found out about it last fall, I signed up like a shot and even talked my mom into coming with me (49 & 74 yrs old - first trip out of the country for both of us!). Trying to explain why I just knew I had to go, I said, "If I have a bucket list, this is on it."

    I was diagnosed in January and just finished my second week of chemo. The oncologist is understandably cautious, but I think I can still fit this tour (May 17-21) into the chemo schedule, and am determined to go. It's the anniversary of the death of Anne Boleyn and we'll be staying at her childhood home, Hever Castle, and traveling to Hampton Court Palace and the Tower of London. I also want to stay over a day or so and see Stonehenge before we leave England.

    I don't think it was bad luck to mention a bucket list right before finding out I have cancer, nor is it unlucky to finish one. I'll never finish mine  - I'm going to keep adding to it as long as I have, however long that is. I'm just going to be more self-indulgent about doing all the things I want to do.

    riley702 I feel envious! I am a fan of that part of history too. When I was a teenager Ann Boleyn was an icon! Enjoy your trip

    One of the top things on my Bucket List is to fly in an airplane...........I am almost 76 and I have never stepped foot inside one............I am petrified of flying.  When I was diagnosed with cancer my older son said to me........"maybe you will fly to Disneyworld with us now"..........He owns a place right inside the park........I said "doubt it", and I also have 2 grandsons who live in Chicago, and want me to come visit them................have not gone yet.......I took care of these 2 boys while their mother worked when they were babies, so through the years we have become closer then you can imagine...........Still can't make myself get on a plane........Now with this new "crap" that happened to Southwest Airlines, the idea of getting on a plane has dropped to the bottom of the bucket list.....................up up and away ......................
