I recently came across someone's wish/bucket list for life and decided to come up with a list of my own. I often try to set goals for myself, and recently have been setting weekly goals to accomplish. It certainly helps to me to work harder towards achieving them when the list is written down, a sort of checklist.
So, I came up with 40 things that I would like to attempt, try or at least think about doing in my life. I chose 40, because that is the next "big" birthday, but this is certainly not a list I intend to fulfill before that time! But, here's to giving it a try!
1. Experience Disney with my kids
2. Go on a cruise with my hubby
3. See Luke Bryan (again), Miranda Lambert and maybe Garth Brooks in concert
4. Learn to golf
5. Try downhill skiing again (maybe just once)
6. Climb Mt. Katahdin
7. Take a photography class - just for fun
8. Go back to school - maybe a certificate in literacy (We'll see - told Mike to remind me of specific moments during my graduate program if I ever thought about going back to school again)!!!!
9. Find a volunteer opportunity that I am passionate about
10. Learn to crochet or knit
11. Fit back into my wedding dress for my 10 year anniversary (possibly do a trash the dress photo session)
12. Hot air balloon ride (terrifying thought)
13. Go on many family camping trips
14. Plant a vegetable garden (aka learn to garden)
15. Zipline (also terrifying)

17. Go to a Patriots Game (only NE team haven't seen in person)
