My Life List
Monday, January 06, 2014
I'm sure you all have seen many versions of this list, perhaps as a '25 before 25' or '30 before 30'. I frequently debated upon posting my own list but something about those just didn't sit right with me. I would start to think....what if these things aren't completed by then? What if I'm only able to mark off a few of these things per year? What if people think the these things are silly? Are the things on my list realistic??
Lots of thoughts have popped into my head regarding these lists...and then I decided why not and I sat down and finally started to make "the list"...my bucket list. Honestly, it may sound silly..but I feel like it was eye opening (in a silly but also serious manner) to actually sit there and see these things written out...in no particular order, rhyme or reason.

I encourage you all to sit down and do this, I promise you will learn a lot about yourself and may even realize that a lot of the things on your 'list' you didn't even realize you had already done. I plan on adding more and more to my list as I think of them! Are any of these on your list? xo, S

I started writing my list last night after having the same "what if people think these are silly" thoughts. I'm going to have to borrow a few of these to add to mine
ReplyDeleteI love your list! I want to throw someone a surprise party too! It's actually on list of goals before 30.

Love your list! It does seem a little weird at first to write one, but I think it's so nice to have what you want to do written out. Not to mention published : ) It makes them that much more real. And you've already accomplished so much! I'd love to ride in a hot air balloon and research my family tree - just a couple of my own bucket list options : )
ReplyDeleteUseful tips towards a healthier life.
