The Bucket List is a 2007 film starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
According to Wikipedia, the main plot “follows two terminally ill men on their road trip with a wish list of things to do before they ‘kick the bucket'”.
I’ve watched this film a few times. It’s not in my Top 10, but if saw it was on, I’d watch it. And feel a brief surge of “let’s go”.
And do nothing.
On a few occasions this year, I was tasked with emptying households for relatives who had passed on. Each time, I’d find a list of things to do, to be, to see, and to accomplish.
Some items had been completed. Others were left undone.
As sad as that makes me, the gift is in the reminder that I have things to do.
