goals

I found this list buried deep in the piles of things I have written through the years.  It is an unfinished list of goals that I made about 5 years ago.  It's funny (and rewarding) to see what I have already accomplished. 

•  travel to Paris
• author a children's book
• buy a home (with a mandatory swing on my mandatory screened-in porch)
• watch Carrie Bradshaw on the Big Screen
• open a boutique in the Charleston area and become my own boss
• plant and successfully nurture a flower garden
• return the favor on all of the wonderful ways in which my parents have contributed to my life
• marry a wonderful man who makes me laugh (and then........)
• grow a big, beautiful pregnant belly
• learn to speak a new language (English - check, Spanish - check)
• sky-dive
• master the guitar
• wake up early enough to watch the sunrise on the beach
• take a road trip with no destination, just a tank of gas and lots of time
• kiss in the rain (without worrying that my makeup will run)
• re-discover that wonderful little body I lived in at 21, that I didn't appreciate until it was gone
• change someone's life for the better
• make a sizable contribution to a worthy cause

This list is still relevant to the dreams that I have.  Other than changing the "boutique" to a photography studio, I would say it is spot-on.  Finding this helped me to realize that I have accomplished a few sizable goals in the past 5 years, but there's still alot left on my short list that I need to get crackin' on.
