40 Before 40 Update

A new year always seems to be full of all sorts of wonder and possibilities for the days and months ahead. We plan and schedule our lives. Some things because we have to and some we do because we want to. I’m I sure we all have things we want to accomplish short or long term. I think that is partly why lists are so popular especially with us bloggers. Sometimes we even plan ahead with the stuff we want to accomplish before a certain time say a birthday. That is where my favourite type of lists can be found. Yep, you know it. I am talking about the almighty bucket list.

I thought it was about time I posted an update to my 40 Before 40 bucket list. I haven’t talked about it at all since I my last update which was almost a billion years ago. Oops, my bad. I am plugging away at it slowly. I did notice that there is an awful lot of travel left on it. We didn’t get away as much last year as we would of liked so I am hoping this is all still do able. Some of the items I had planned to tick off on our last trip and then for one reason or another they didn’t get done. My 40th birthday isn’t until December 2017 so I still have almost two years to complete it all.
