Last week our Orem and Provo Beehive Homes participated in a "Bucketlist Contest". We asked each of the residents what is left on their bucketlists. The activity was eye-opening. Although all of the residents have lived inspiring lives filled with great success and adventure, it was a wonderful experience to be able to hear what they would still like to accomplish.
The most common desire was to visit and spend more time with family. Nearly every resident mentioned a desire to visit relatives near or far, or even have some of their dearest loved ones back on earth with them to be alongside them as they checked items such as "traveling the world" off of their bucketlists.
Below, we've listed a few items from different residents' bucketlists:
Visit the Holy Land (Jerusalem)
Go hunting and fishing in Alaska
Find gold
Learn piano
Travel to Switzerland
Revisit Pompeii and take time to explore the city and its history
Swim at the many beaches in Hawaii
Spend a weekend at Disneyland
Learn how to work an iPhone :)
It was inspiring to visit with all of the residents and learn of their greatest goals and desires. Not included on the list above are some of the most heart warming responses such as "have compassion for others, help people, learn to understand each person", to be "cheerful and thankful", and to be "active in grand children's lives". This activity was yet another reminder that we truly have amazing residents at Beehive Homes and we are so grateful for the inspiration and joy they bring us!
