My Someday List

Ever heard of a Bucket List? You know, the list that you make of all the things you want to do before you 'kick the bucket'?

Well, as a piggyback to my last post (the whole, "I have a dream" post) I have decided to make myself one of those. A place to write down all of my alleged goals and dreams seems like a good idea. (Gee, I guess I like lists a lot??)

Except I hate the name Bucket List. Seriously, how morbid.

So I have decided to call this My Someday List. Some are petty and some are profound. And some are somewhere in between. I think this is an extremely good exercise. I will look at this list on the days when work sucks, Miles is being a pain in the ass and I am fighting with Grant...and it will help me to focus on the fact that THIS TOO SHALL PASS. See, I'm not good at that. I think that if it sucks now it will ALWAYS suck. It's a curse. I think this will help me focus my energy, and maybe (just maybe) I will start to check some things off the list.

I have left out some of the obvious ones like "Be a millionaire" or "Have happy, healthy, generous and emotionally stable children" or "Live in my dream home" ... but I am trying to think outside the box on these.

Making this list is much tougher than I thought it would be. Here goes nothin'!
