"The truth is . . . once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.“ ~ Morrie

    2. What’s on your Bucket List?? A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term "kicked the bucket". A list of things you think you might need to accomplish because you feel your own mortality closing the door on you. You feel insecure about your life and therefore make a list of things to get busy on. A list of hotties that you always had your eye on and you most now go conquer.

    3. DO NOW: Think about what you would like to accomplish before you “kick the bucket.” ? I know it’s a morbid thought, but humor me ? Today, you will start a Bucket List of your own. In your notebook, create a list of ten ‘things’ you would like to do before you are ‘lying six feet under.’ I want these to simply be the first ten things that come to your mind. You will have plenty of time in the near future to add/change your list!

    4. Tuesdays With Morrie An old man, a young man and life’s greatest lesson. ~Mitch Albom

    5. Overview: We all know the ‘age old’ question – Who is your hero? Who helps you see the world as a more profound place and gives you sound advice to help you make your way through it? For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you will lose track of this mentor as you make your way through life. You may want or need to see that person again, to ask the bigger questions that may still haunt you, or to receive wisdom for your busy life . . .

    6. Overview Continued: Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": a class that taught him lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.
