Happiness is not a goal…….It’s a by-product of a life well lived, Eleanor Roosevelt
Although this list of items didn’t make it on to my official Bucket list, they are still notable things that i want to see, do and experience in my lifetime. These are all items of interest that I plan on completing but as i keep adding new challenges they don’t count toward my official Bucket List. I started my impossible list back in 2016 after a friend remarked it as impossible to get everything on my list done within my lifetime.
Moving forward, I hope you find some inspiration and to never settle for a life that’s anything short of extraordinary….
