So What is My Bucket List?
Why have a Bucket List
In my mind, it is important to have goals. Why have a bucket list? Everyone no matter how old needs to look forward. Looking to the past for anything other than guidance for the future is not productive. I want to live in the present and not fret about the future.
It is important to learn and grow. A bucket list is part of that plan.
Travel
Most of bucket list involves travel. I want to see new places and learn about history and the beauty nature has created. So here it goes.
Civil War Battlefields
I have always been fascinated by our history. US history which does not include native Americans is relatively short. Europe’s history as we learn it is much more defined with a longer past. But wars form our past. The winners define our present and lead to the future.
To learn more about our history I want to visit and study more about the Civil War
