Going beyond.
Returning better.
Bucket Life
Paris was not on my bucket list.
Popping up in my calendar every two weeks I see this:
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http://johneliason.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-11-at-3.24.11-PM.png” _builder_version=”3.29.3″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″ text_text_color=”#ffffff”]I have no bucket list.
I think of it like a bucket life.
Life takes me places because of something I’d like to do. It’s not because it’s on someone else’s recommended list or what the Jones’ think would be awesome.
Its like layers of experience that add up and I go. Paris for example. Paris was never on a list of places I wanted to go and check off to say I’ve been there. Paris came up because I bought tickets for Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) concert at home in Minnesota, something came up and I missed it, but I watched for return dates – there were none upcoming, but there was date in Paris. Supertramp’s last album was Live In Paris. Roger Hodgson and Paris – two layers of cool. That’s how I ended up in Paris. From there I booked a small B&B in the Marais just a few blocs from Notre Dame. The owner (Margait) and I hit it off and she took me everywhere. A friend invited her to a private jazz club one night and asked if I wanted to go too. Sure! During a break I chatted with the band and when they went back up on stage they said (in a very French accent), “This next song is for our new friend John.” They played Johnny Be Goode, by Chuck Berry. What could I do, I had no choice, I had to join the jazz club that night. A few years later my son and I had a connecting flight in Paris, we went into town and stayed a few nights with my friend Margait and now he’s been to Paris.
It all ends up making a story. For me the story, the adventure is way more fun that checking the Paris box.
Living you, wherever you are and wherever the adventure takes you.
Bucket life.
Try it on.
You be the judge.
Let me know how life changes.
