I recently read that we should all make a list of 43 things about ourselves...Why 43? I have no idea...We should do it to make us more aware of what we enjoy, what we dream about and where we want to go...
Also, it has been said, that writing things down makes them more likely to happen.
I believe that to be true. Jeff and I wrote a list of things we wanted to to/buy and then forgot about it. We found that list years later and we could cross off almost the entire list!
There is something important about writing down your dreams/goals...it makes them real, concrete.
So here it goes...
I'll start with the easy one~
Where I want to go
All 7 continents - I have 4 to go
All 50 states - I have 6 left, Ohio, Arkansas, Oklahoma, N & S Dakota and Alaska
Machu Pichu - sigh...

Enjoyed this post Shelly. You have seen pictures of yours hanging somewhere other than you house. I imagine that you are talking about a gallery opening or something like that tho. I'm going to have to ponder my own list. There's a lot to think about there. Except the where to go question - I could answer than one in a heartbeat. I hope you come with on the Inca trail!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your list Jill! Yes, I do get a thrill seeing my pictures up in your home. What I meant was somewhere unexpected as I walked by... ;)
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to be notified if there's a comment after my comment? I just saw this reply. That would be really cool to see one unexpectedly indeed! I'm having an itch to frame up several of your tulips. Or canvas them. You are just so talented. LOL a pig head just popped up in the slide show to the left of where I'm typing! That gives me a good giggle!
