Making a life list
Labels: life list, lists 1 commentsI went skydiving- Tim McGraw, "Live Like You Were Dying"
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
I don't plan to skydive or rocky mountain climb but I AM making a list of things to do in this lifetime. I've known of some people whose lives were cut short due to illnesses or accidents that won't get to do all the things they wanted to do. I think we all hope and expect to live until 80 or more and think we have plenty of time but we may not!
I got this book called "The Wish List" by Barbara Ann Kipfer which has nearly 6,000 ideas for what might go on your Life List. I plan to whittle it down to 100. It's been pleasing to see that many things in the book are things I have already done but there's so much I haven't done and I can't wait to get started on my 100 item list. I plan to post my list once I have it assembled. What's on your list?

Love that song!
I would love to borrow that book when you're done! How cool.
I always wanted to sky dive, but don't think I will now. Seems too risky now that I have people who depend on me. When I was single, I would do just about anything in the world.
Most of my wishes consist of travel and now that I have kids, I want to share it with them. I'd also like to write a book one day. Am I boring or what?!
