What’s On Your List?

I’m such a dreamer…I can daydream all day about things that I have to do, plan to do, want to do. Am I the only one who feels this way? I doubt it, but I know that a lot of people are much more practical than I am. Sometimes I throw “practical” out the window, and allow my dreams to take over. The key is knowing when to be realistic and when to reach for your dreams! The aspirations that I have are what keep me going…if I have something to look forward to, or something I want to achieve, I get a boost of determination to reach for those things.

Avar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

Admittedly, some of those things are materialistic. I know, I know…materialism is not all its cracked up to be. But I think it’s human nature to have a desire for material things at some point. Truthfully though, the older I’ve gotten, the more emphasis I place on desiring more important things, like having incredible experiences independently AND with family & friends. I’ve gotten a much clearer perspective as of late, since I’ve seen family and friends go through tough situations and experienced some of those situations myself. I was flipping though the TV channels the other day, and came across The Bucket List. Ah, yes, the cliche bucket list…..I honestly was not a huge fan of this movie when I saw it the first time, but I really do like the concept of thinking of and listing things you hope to do in your lifetime. As a self-proclaimed “dreamer”, I have thrown the idea back and forth of making my own bucket list. Likewise, as a self-proclaimed procrastinator, I have not made that list yet……haha.

I tend to think about things on a whim, so I plan to start this list by keeping a pen & paper in my purse and writing down things as they enter my mind. We’ll see how this goes…..I have a few things I can think of off the top of my head:

• Backpack through Europe
• Run a marathon
• Own a Range Rover [Told you I had materialistic dreams…….haha]
• Become a successful attorney
• Live in California
• Have a beach house near Wilmington, NC [So much for not being materialistic ;)]
• Write a book

This is just a sampling of many, many things I plan to do in my lifetime….what kind of things would you put on your list???
