Take for instance my new years resolution. I generally write my resolutions down January 1st and then I don't really look at them until the following January 1st. For the record, I just looked at them and I'm already on epic fail mode. But I'll discuss that on January 1st.
In the great tradition of lists, seeing as my time has been freed up quite significantly, I rented The Bucket List and it got me to thinking about how I would like to make a list of things to do before I die, or just things to do in my lifetime, what I want to accomplish, whatever. Because things to do before I die does sound a bit morbid.
I could have sworn I had blogged about this before, but I am having difficulty finding that particular post.
Hmm. . .
BTW, I surfed the internet looking for things that interested me. Some of these may never be attainable, but who knows? Life is short, but a lot can happen. Some items are big, others are miniscule. But they are all things I would like to do before I die.
