Bucket lists – inventories of the things we want to
accomplish before we kick the bucket – are popular, and understandably so. They’re
fun to construct and to pursue. But it might be more productive to create a tally
of things we DON’T want to do during our lifetime – an anti-bucket list, if you
will. Here’s mine so far:
Wear a tattoo. They’re painful, they’re practically
permanent, and they don’t improve with age.
Take up smoking, or any other addictive substance.
Seriously, how dumb would you have to be to start?
Have a divorce. Where there’s abuse, addiction or adultery, divorce
may be the only recourse. But it sure doesn’t look like fun.
Get into credit card debt. I own a credit card, for
emergencies. I use it VERY sparingly, and pay it off before interest is
involved.
Go sky diving, hang-gliding, bungee jumping, skate boarding,
or ice fishing. And I hope to never go snowmobiling ever again!
