100 things I want to do in my life.....

Quite some time ago (many years) Memory Makers featured an article about the things we want to do in our lives before we are unable to, it has stuck in my mind. The article talked about making a list of 100 things you want to do before you die... It seemed like quite a task, I did not think I would ever come up with 100 things, however when I put the pen to paper I came up with 5o very easily and quickly, and had no problem getting to 100 (actually 148 to be exact)

Just recently I came across the list I wrote, it was fun to read, some things never happened like... doing the Grouse Grind before I am 40! Never did that Maybe before I reach 45! And others that have such as Celebrate 40th birthday in a big way! There are things that will likely not happen because of the cost involved, or change in circumstances. Some things I have no or very little control over - holding my grand babies..

I remember sitting down and writing my list of 100 things. It was a great exercise, to make you think about where your life is, and where you would like it to be. how you are going to change it if it needs changing, it is a great place to dream - big or little dreams! I also think that by writing things down we are more likely to do them, there is a level of accountability to self when we see things written down.

Here are 5 random things that come from that list

1. Milk a cow
2. Ride in a hot air balloon
3. Visit my friend Lisa in Niger (Read some great stories HERE) where she works!
4. Hold my Grand babies in my arms (many years down the road!)
5. Drive across Canada with my family

The next step would be to scrapbook each of these 100 things.... The article suggested creating an album of the list, pre done pages so that when you achieve one of the items on the list all you have to do is add a photo or 2! Voila! Simple album of the things that are important to you...

How cool is that?
