Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away. - Author Unknown
I used to think that in order to define the meaning of life for myself, I had to find out what my life's purpose was supposed to be. The older I get though, the more I realize that maybe my "purpose" isn't so profound. Maybe God's will for me is just to exist and to try to be the most loving person that I can be; to give to others, to provide, to love, and to care.
I think the "Bucket List" movie does a pretty good job of conveying people living life to the fullest. It touches on some of the things that I believe are important in life, but not all of them.
I thought this post would be a perfect time to share my "Bucket List".
