I have the most fabulous commute to work every morning. I'm thankful for the time alone! Singing at the top of my lungs is a great way to start a stressful day!
While cleaning out some storage boxes today I found various books with list being used as book marks. These books are well worn and have been read dozens of times. The lists were left in chapters that I deemed important. I reread some of the saved items and soon discovered that I had a list of what my thirties need to look like. It's a laughable concept. I really had all these plans as to how my thirties would look and be. Let me share a few of them with you. #4. I will be an independent woman that doesn't rely on any man. #9. I will have obtained a master's degree in some field that has purpose. #21. I will live somewhere far away from town. #24. I will have the job I have been wanting my whole life. #31. Break away from family that doesn't see me for me. #39. Buy a car that no one else has ever owned. Context: I wrote this list as a first year teacher. I was 21 ...
I will share some of my old lists. Not all content is sharable. #14. Leave all unfinished business in the past. I wish I could tell you guys what this was referencing, but I cannot remember. This list was made so many years ago. I wanted to do "this" before I turned 30. I can just about bet it had something to do with an old flame or some transgression I had with a peer. In my younger years I was so full of life bursting with opinionated attitude. Not caring what others thought about me was freeing in many ways. It was my way or the high. I was not well liked and often struggled with friendships. The younger me was so self confident and self assured. I knew what I wanted and went for it. She could have conquered the world. I was voted by my peers my high school year as being the most outspoken. I would say my peace and move on. I admire the younger me. She was inspiring and willing to push through what ever wall got in her way. I gues...
#40. Fly in a plane. Check A+. I did end up flying in a plane. The year I turned 30 was one of the best year's of my life so far. My best friend/ sister convinced me to go to the infamous Vegas. The four hour flight was breathtaking and I will forever remember the feeling of lifting off. I do not ever really want to fly again. We hit some MAJOR turbulence on the way home and I was frightened to the point I had a panic attack. We enjoyed seven days of shows, shopping, and exploring. We averaged over 15,000 steps a day and slept well at night. That was what life was like before children. My sister and I could take off with a moment's notice and go where ever. We took off to NYC to watch the ball drop one year. As it turns out it isn't an actual ball at all. #45. Save a life. Well, this one is really out there. Let me think... I have saved a life but not like a you are thinking though. I go and...
