Buckets

I’ve been contemplating buckets, and the things we put in them, and other uses for buckets. Lunch buckets – full of baloney which when eaten in cars can fall between bucket seats. Or rain in the Springtime that comes down in buckets which may require a bucket brigade to fill up a bucket full of sand to stop the flooding. Lunch buckets are just a drop in the bucket when it comes to listing the uses of and variety of, buckets.

At our house, we say, your bucket is empty, when you aren’t being nice. And there is a hole in your bucket, if you are only half nice. And the only way you can fill up your karma bucket is to spread love. That’s the first item on my bucket list – to spread buckets of love – before I kick the bucket.

I have read the Good Cents' anecdotes for years - even before you picked up the job. I wondered if I could reprint some of your pieces of writing and create questions about them for the state education's test question bank.

It's hard to find samples of good writing without breaking copyright laws.

If you have questions, you can contact me at Jordan School District. I am the secondary literacy specialist for the district.

Thanks for your consideration,
