Abbott "Pete" Smith D.V.M. June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010 |
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017), including his wife Jody (1938-2021).
What's on your bucket list?
They say that creating a bucket list helps to "get in touch with our true values" and gives us something to look forward to - a new adventure and/or new direction. It's called a bucket list because it's a list of things to do before you kick the bucket. Everyone should have one.
Pete and Jody had a bucket list; however, I think Jody's list was a bit longer than Pete's. Top on Jody's list was a visit to Ireland. She had traveled throughout parts of Europe before she was married, but she was drawn to Ireland. In her personal library, which was extensive, she had many books of Ireland - Irish fairy tales, picture books, and more.
Jody hoped she and Pete could travel to Ireland in their golden years. There were hurdles that prevented the journey. Life got in the way somehow.
Great advice from bucketlistjourney.net is to "Don't wait for the 'perfect time' to begin - make your bucket list not because you are dying but because you want to live!"
