Ok, I’ve been thinking a lot about life and goals and things like that. I guess it’s being fueled by the fact that I’m going to be bringing a life into this world. Anyway I have had this list of things that I want to do before I die (yes that list). Some might call it a bucket list, but I refuse to because I think that if I were to call it a bucket list then I would start to look like Morgan Freeman and nobody wants that. So I just call it the list (if you haven’t noticed, I like things to be dramatic).
I started this list in college and have been adding to it over the years. Whenever I’m feeling down or unmotivated, I like to pull out “The List” and imagine doing the things on it. I don’t know if I will ever be able to cross any of the things off of my list (so far I haven’t), but I’m still hopeful and maybe and maybe one day I will completely lose my mind and do one of them. And yes, I really meant to say that I’m hopeful about losing my mind.
So as I near motherhood I can’t help but to wonder how my list will change, or grow with my new responsibilities as a parent. I’ve decided to post my list here, and I invite any and everyone to give me some feed back or share some of the items on your life to do list. Enjoy!
