I finally decided to post my life list here for all to read. I have always had ideas in my head or dreams you could call them. Just a mental list of things I knew I wanted to accomplish in my life time. Some are rather small and some are larger tasks. I believe finally putting them down in ink (or virtual in this case) to track and work towards will help make sure they are done. I think we all get so busy caught up in life that we forget to stop and think about what it truly is that we wanted to accomplish. Even the small things that we believe we’ll get to one day, we have a tendency to push off until maybe it’s too late. My goal is to work on these items and blog my progress. Share my life experiences with you and how easy or hard some of the things may be to accomplish. Some of these items are on my Vision Board that I wrote about in the past and some are items that are long term goals or dreams.
I have been working on putting this list in print for months now and was hoping to have a full list of 100 things to do in my lifetime. However I ran out of ideas or at least I’ve forgotten some of my previous ideas. I thought instead of continuing to wait I would go ahead and publish the list and add to it later on. My goal is to accomplish at least 30 things on the list by the time I’m 30 years old. I turned 28 this past February so that gives me a little less than two years. Once I’m 30 I figured I would re-evaluate the list and try to knock out 40 more items by the time I’m 40. Of course that is if the list is longer by then.

Do you have a life list? I would love to read it so feel free to share the link in the comments below. Want to help me grow my list to 100 things? Have a fabulous idea that you think I’d enjoy in my lifetime? I am open for any suggestions.

Well Melissa then I say bring it on. We could go ride in a hot air balloon together. The next conference we plan to attend we should check into it. Wouldn’t that be a fun addition, get some bloggers together for a trip up in the air? How fun!
I have never even owned a house so when I do decide to buy I am making sure it has a study just for me. I went on a cruise but I don’t remember seeing wild dolphins in the ocean. We are going on a Disney Cruise this month so I plan to keep a close eye out, but I really want to go out in a smaller boat and see them closer. I’ve of course fed dolphins and pet them at Sea World but that doesn’t count. 😉
I’ve seen dolphins in the wild, from the shore. They were really close and it was one of the most exciting, yet serene moments of my life.
Always wanted to ride a hot air balloon! Now you and Melissa have to take me with you! The helicopter tour is another one I think would be fun, especially over some place like Hawaii.
Something I’ve always had on my list is learning to fly a plane.

Here’s my list. http://livelaughlovekristi.blogspot.com/2010/01/101-in-1001-finished.html
Although, I talked with someone at work today about my list and I feel like I need to add more. I want to go to France (to see the Eiffel tower), Germany (to see the concentration camps), and Austria (to sing in the Alps like on the Sound of Music).
Wow – what a great list! I should totally do one of these so I know what I’m working toward 😉
