You ladies did better than me at condensing your lists. EW: You are much braver than I am. (There is a machine that provides pseudo-bungee jumping in MB, by the way)
Here's my list in order of my priorities if I could choose today.
1) See difficult child be a happy, law-abiding citizen with his own friends/family that will always be there for him and us having a good relationship
2) Make a small dent in educating the public and changing the systems to better help those with mental illness/substance abuse problems, kids in the Department of Juvenile Justice system, and families that are struggling
3) Hold at least one grandbaby that, hopefully, was conceived after #1 transpired
4) Quit smoking
5) Attend a CD get-together
6) Travel more, including visiting Seattle and Bermuda one more time
7) Be involved in animal rescue/sheltering
8) Meet Neil Diamond over a drink at that pub in Manhattan
9) Get out of debt and retire from a regular job so I can open a Mom & Pop store (without the Pop) that is open when I want it to be
10) Read all those books I've bought
11) Have a flower garden and be able to keep it alive
12) Live in a home or have a second home that I designed
13) Know where everything is in my home that is always clean
14) Like Suz, hang glide after I am no longer deathly afraid of heights
15) Own an antique, convertible jaguar before I am so old that they take my driver's license away (I have no doubt that I will have purple hair by this time)

Hmmm. I have been blessed in the last 10 yrs to have done and have many things I would have on a list.
1) Make it to austrailia and New Zealand for at least a month.
2) Spend more time with husband doing things we enjoy and with people we
care about.
3) Watch all my siblings move to driving distance from us so we can share holidays and rites of passages with the kids.
4)To see my son's in a committed relationship with someone who appreciates them for their individuality and who laughes a lot with them.
5) Read more books.
6) Continue to learn and get more proficient with riding horses.
7)Have less household responsibility
8) to own a place where the kids, sibs, nephews, neices will gravitate every summer because they like each other and share a place that is special to all of us.
9) continue to be of service to the causes and needs of family and friends.
10) To always have a part of my life that is mine. No mommy hat, wife hat, daughter hat, neighbor, sister hat.
11) Be able to meet my maker at the end knowing I have no regrets and that I did the best I could with what was given to me. Hopefully, I fulfilled my role as was expected.
12) To live as long as my body can keep me independent then go peacefully to sleep and never wake up.

My first thought was to be a Grandma. However, I really don't think I have any control in that area do I? Nothing I do would make it happen.
So, things I could make happen (in no particular order):
1. Help in a pregnancy center
2. Visit the East Coast of United States
3. Be debt free (hopefully once school starts I can start chiseling away that bill)
4. Write and direct another Christmas program for our Sunday School
5. Remodel our home
6. Take annual family vacations (I know it is hard to get all your kids together at the same time when they leave home but I think a vacation with grown up kids and grandkids would be so much fun)

One thing is funny. If someone had asked me 5 years ago about my bucket list, Having grandchildren would never have been on that list. Now, I cant imagine my life without them.
I used to only pray for the day my kids were far, far away and I never wanted any more little kids in my life. Now I can barely go a week or two without Keyana. Life is funny.
