my list

I was inspired to make a list.

A list of things I want to achieve.

by Age 30.

cross your fingers for me.

1. go a week without driving anywhere.

2. go 72 hours without a computer.

3. learn how to make my own cleaning supplies from natural ingredients.

4. make a dress.

5. learn to crochet.

6. try something I think I will hate.

7. do something that scares me.

8. write a letter to each family member.

9. write a letter to my future self to open in 20 years.

10. run a marathon.

11. read a book.

12. celebrate absolutely nothing one day.

13. call my friends every week.

14. get to know all of my neighbors.

15. go scuba diving

16. learn a language.(German)

17. swim with dolphins.

18. ride in a hot air balloon.

19. Go to the gym early in the morning for 1 week.

20. write a living will.

21. got to a concert.

22. institute a once a week"buy nothing" day.

23. plant a peace pole.

24. keep all my promises.

25. Don't talk for 1 day.

26. be in a talk show audience.

27. send a message in a bottle

28. learn to meditate.

29. go horseback riding, and enjoy it.

30. visit the grand canyon.

31. Learn to play the guitar

32. talk in a British accent for an entire day

33. hug a tree.

34. milk a cow.

35. churn butter

36. take a martial arts class on self defense.

37. Go completely organic.

This is definitely not the end of my list. But I think its a pretty good start.

My hope is that all of these things will broaden my experiences in life so that I can teach my children, but also that I will learn and develop a deeper appreciation for the things around me.

I may or may not keep you updated as I complete my list. Although chances are, I will.

:-)

what would be on your list?
