BASE jumpIt’s Friday! I decided to post on the lighter side today. Here’s a list of things I want to accomplish before I die. Some of them are perfectly realistic, while others will take a lot of legwork. I hope that I can see all of these things manifest in my lifetime, and I will do what I need to to make that happen. So, without further ado, here’s my list:

  1. Become a skydiving instructor
  2. Travel to at least one country on every continent
  3. Run a marathon
  4. BASE jump in New Zealand
  5. See my boys become men, husbands and/or fathers
  6. Live on a small island for a year
  7. Meet the Dali Lama
  8. Find the love of my life
  9. Have my own orchid greenhouse
  10. Scuba dive in Belize
  11. Meet Jack Johnson
  12. Become involved in the movement to improve drinking water conditions around the world
  13. Swing through the canopy of the Amazon Rainforest
  14. Find the cure for cancer (ok, not really. I’ll leave that to my super-duper best friend)
  15. See a world at peace

So, I could go on, but I’ll stop there. These things are not in any particular order or importance to me, although the first one is the first thing that came to my mind. It obviously holds a certain amount of significance for me.

As you enjoy your Friday, are there things that you have in you mind that you hope to accomplish before you die? What are they? Which ones can you achieve now and which ones involve preparation and planning? Creating a list like this is a great way to work your mind and your imagination. It also can get you motivated to make something happen that you might not have otherwise!

Enjoy your weekend…

These are great. I’m a big Jack Johnson fan as well. Q: have you ever heard of Xavier Rudd. You may enjoy his music…

Yes, I have! I don’t have any of his stuff though. Just what little I’ve heard on the radio, and sadly, I can’t say I’ve paid much attention. I will have to now. :)

Hi, I StumbledUpon your blog and read this post with great interest.
I’d just like to ask, which of the things on your list you plan to do first?

Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed my post. I would say that numbers 1, 3 and 8 are probably at the top of my list for things I will complete first. 1 and 3 I’m already a good portion of the way to accomplishing, and 8 is just something I’m hoping will come sooner than later. :)

Scuba diving in Belize is on my list too! I’d really like to have an orchid garden, I’ve currently got 6 of them because when the flowers fall off I can’t seem to make them bloom again and so I buy another. Oh, and the curing cancer thing…I’d like to do that too, but I think MY super-duper best friend is overly optimistic regarding my scientific capabilities;-)

Haha! I believe in the QueenB. :)
