Some very very big and life changing goals there if they ever happen and some goals that aren't life changing at all, but fun nonetheless.
I totally applaud both you and Debi for your lists ! Today as I read this list I instantly knew this was something I could never do. It is like how I only "commit" to one book for RIP. (yes I read more but commit to only one) If I were to write a list like this down it would drive me crazy trying every moment to be doing those things to cross them off the list... it looks like a "commitment" to me!
ReplyDeleteI could use a good therapist Chris.. want the job? sheesh.
Aw, it would be great though to live every moment trying to cross those things off your list :) They don't have to be unreachable things! I have a lot of things on my list that very well may be unreachable. I doubt I'll ever see the Taj Mahal but it sure would be nice...I may never meet the man of my dreams, but that would be nice too :p LOL...But I can bake 50 cookies! You could make goals like collecting pictures of 50 different birds....identifying 20 different creatures in the pond....Reading two books from your TBR a week....Walking the trail every day....The whole purpose of me doing this was not so much to go on a big adventure (though that would be nice :P) but to live more "intentionally". Just to start seeing a little bit more each day, even in the things I already do. I'm telling you, you could do it to where it was fun and not stressful, you just have to do it in a way that works for you :)
DeleteI so hope you meet the man of your dreams Chris. You so deserve the happiness of loving and being loved. of all the things on your list I hope the man of your dreams becomes a reality.
DeleteOh Chris, I LOVE these new additions!!! So much fun stuff on there...might even have to steal a few. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd Pat, I totally get what you're saying--I have a tendency to do that too. But I really think Chris is right--its more about living intentionally. Thinking about the things that make you happy--yes, some big and possibly unattainable but really even more the small things--and choosing to making them prominent in your daily living. Does that make any sense?
yes it does but I have this problem.. no matter how much I love something as soon as I feel "i have to "... I find I no longer want it. I'm weird lol.
DeleteWow!! That's so interesting!!! Ah, I LOVE " Modern Family" too :D
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for you crossed all of your list!
