After reviewing my list, I realized that I have completed a few goals without officially recording them so will combine them into one blog to pacify my need to ramble on about nonsensical thoughts.
# 7--Write 60 things I wish I had done when I was younger
The sky was the limit writing this goal. When haven't we reflected back in time and wished we could change something we said or did. This wasn't meant to be a list about regrets, but if there was a "do over" button on my sixty years, what would I have done differently? From the very beginning, I discovered that I hadn't had any major snafus and after the usual wishes-- eaten more vegetables, learned a foreign language, etc.--it appears nothing out of the ordinary has happened since 1951. Sometimes boring is good.
The lesson learned was I can not change the past, however, the future is all mine to write so with that philosophy, goal # 35, became a guiding light on what to put on paper and committing to at least ten more years of goal setting. My reflections became a projection into the next one with the anticipation of living a healthy and active lifestyle, keeping family a priority, helping others, being a good friend and enjoying life to its fullest. I love it when two goals converge into one!
# 35 Make a list of 60 things to do by 2020
Because goal # 7 was a look back in time, this goal helped me discern what to construct for the next ten years. Yes, there are too many places to see, people to meet, and projects to complete but this list helped me prioritize on what to do, where to go, and when to start and finish as the birthdays come and go. Life does seem to speed up as we age, but I am defying the cliche (if that is what it is) and embracing every single moment with a master plan--at least for the next ten years.
