I have been working on my "To do before I ..." list for a while. A long time ago, when I was in my teens, I had a list of things that I would love to achieve before I turned 40. Some I did, some I did not. Now since I'm over 40 I work on my Bucket List. Here it is:

1. I would love to go to Canary Islands (need more money to do that...)
2. Go to Egypt with AMORC (need more money)
3. Get an accounting designation (I'm currently working on it!)
4. Open my own accounting firm (I'm slowly getting there, but must have that designation first)
5. Make a quarter of a million (in Canadian dollars) in one year. (It will be possible after I have my firm)
6. See an iceberg (This one I think I'll be able to check off next year. I heard that I can see amazing icebergs in May just of the shore in Newfoundland)
7. Have a lobster meal (I never ate lobster... maybe I can do that while in Newfoundland. Of course I can go to any restaurant and try it but I would love to make it very special, most awesome would be to have a lobster meal with the fishermen)
8. Write a novel (I'm working on the skills)
9. Have a house on the waterfront with acreage (need more money)
10. Fly to North Pool (need more money)
11. Own a Cadillac (need more money)
12. Loose weight and be fit (today is the starting day, hopefully I can achieve this by my birthday - July 16th)
13. Go to Dawson City (I'm planning this trip and hopefully I can go there this summer)
14. Win lottery jackpot (once in a while I'm buying a lotto ticket...)
15. Learn to swim (fear prevents me from learning)
16. Hike Chilkoot Pass (I have to work on my fitness level first)
17. Go to Italy (need more money)
18. Speak Italian fluently (for that I need more time, maybe I can start very slowly now...)
19. Go back to Poland for a couple of weeks or so (need more money and more time)
20. Pack my bags, jump in the car and visit every single state in US (need more money and time)
21. Pack my bags, jump in the car and visit every single province in Canada (need more money and time)
22. I love photography and I one day I will have a very good camera (I need more money)
23. Go to Peru and visit ancient Mayas site (again, that requires more money)
24. Have a week just to myself (I think this one will be easy to achieve, I just need more time and a little extra money)
25. Have a diamond ring (I'm starting to save money, from every paycheque I will put $20 to a little jar until I have enough cash to buy it)

So, that's it! Now, since I put this list in writing I can start to work on it. It would be awesome to be able to go back in a year or two to see how I did...
