Every year at this time people reflect on the year in closing, with plans to improve their life in the coming year. Many compile a Bucket List of things that they wish to do. However, I have found that whenever I compile a list of actual things then they never pan out exactly as I wish. I guess that is the danger of raising expectations. There are many places and pursuits that I would like to encounter and experience. However, I wondered whether the detail was where I was going wrong, and if I planned loosely whether I would achieve all of those wishes.
Ultimately, I would like my Bucket List to inspire enjoyment and fulfilment in my life, so I have compiled goals rather than events. I want to look back next December and realize that I achieved, so here we go ..It is also recognised that Christmas is one of the times of year where people feel lonely, as they forced to face the reality of their lives. Happiness is mixed with sadness as often people are missing through bereavement, other commitments or simply because they are no longer in your life. Some families are logistically apart due to work commitments, life changes or marriage breakdown so it is particular hard to be without key family members at this time of the year.
