When I was about 20 or so, I read an article in a magazine, (forgive me for forgetting which one in particular), and it had an interview with Mandy Moore. Well, in this interview she revealed 60 things she wanted to do before she was 30. Being inspired, I decided to write my own list! Well, you tend to run out of good ideas when coming up with 60. I mean, you want all of them to be meaningful, but it can be tough. After reading what I had, my wise mother suggested I shorten and reverse the list. This way, I'd have things I truly wanted to do to make my life richer. Now, thanks to my mom, it is now a list of 30 things to do before I'm 60. I know it's quite a long time, but that's the beauty of it. All of these things are what I truly want to accomplish and I'm giving myself plenty of time to do them. We all know how life loves to throw us curve balls. This way I can deal with life as it comes and still get these things done. The bold type shows which ones have been accomplished and explains when I did it. I will post specifically about this list as I accomplish more tasks. Enjoy!
