Unique Bucket List Ideas
We all want to help others. We all love bucket lists. How about combining the two? Here are unique bucket list ideas that help others.
I’m on a happiness kick. Happiness always comes easy for me. So easy, I have trouble understanding others unhappiness. My wish would be for the whole world to be a happy place. We would accomplish so much more.
At times we have incidences that cause pain, worry, and distress. Those challenges are easy to work through with a cushion of happiness.

I’ve had life challenges. I’ve been divorced. Lost my grandpa and for a time thought the world would stop. I lost my daddy. My son lives in another state and I miss him. My mom is starting to have Alzheimer’s. There’s still happiness in my heart.
And I’m not sure why or how, but it’s there.
I started a Pinterest board called Happiness. Then started looking for quality pins on happiness. I’m having trouble finding them. Then I thought bucket lists should contain happiness ideas.
But most bucket list ideas miss the boat on happiness.
Things like…
Read an inspiring book.
Relax with a cup of tea.
Watch a movie.
Take yourself out to dinner.
Okay ideas, but what about
Read an inspiring book with a friend or book club.
Take a lonely neighbor out for coffee or tea.
Share a fun movie with a group.
Take yourself out to dinner and secretly pay for someone’s dinner.
