Now that I will be leaving for Ethiopia in February and I will be there for two years, I have found myself once again reflecting on what I have done, what I have not done, and what I would really like to do before I leave.
A couple things that I have on my list include:
- Visit family in Wisconsin
- Visit Spokane
- Going into San Francisco during the holidays
There are other things on my list, and there are always new things to add. I am so excited that I really am making trips to Wisconsin and Spokane before I leave! Honestly, all I want is to make sure that the time I have left before I leave is spent well and meaningful. I want to enjoy my last few months in the states and I want to soak in as much of my own culture as I possibly can.
I will admit that my bucket list is actually shorter than I would like. What I enjoy the most about creating this bucket list is being able to add things that I would love to do again or things that I have never done before but dream of doing some day.
No matter how short or small my list may be, I have realized that what really matters is how I spend every moment. Am I making the most of each and every day? And how do I best use my time up until when I leave for Ethiopia? These are questions that I don't think I will ever be able to fully answer, but I hope that when February comes around, I am able to look back at the past few months and not have any regrets.
