Most people I know have a list of things they want to do or experience. Some people call them bucket lists; others call them adventure lists, to do lists, or even just stuff. Most people I know are also similar to me in that they have these “lists” written down all over the place. Mine are stashed in my phone, in various notebooks, and most frequently, on the backs of fortunes now lying at the bottom of my bag from the cookies I ate weeks ago - the same bag I inevitably left at home when the mood for adventure struck. So, there I am, looking places up on my phone and trying to remember which restaurant I had been talking about trying.
Life by the Bucket is not merely about making bucket lists (and knowing where to find them), but about completing them. I am entering my fifth year of living in St. Louis and realize more and more how many places I have yet to visit. There is nothing I enjoy more than delving into everything my city has to offer, but even so, some days the comfort of my couch and the lure of Netflix bog me down. Now, with motivation to live by the bucket, each month I will create a new list of fifteen bucket adventures and share my experiences as I go!
