My Life List

I have a journal that exists exclusively for the purpose of my list. My list consists of things I want to do, see, accomplish, experience, and learn in my lifetime. In the beginning I have written the entire story of, Oh, The Places You'll Go!, and reading that inspires me to do more besides sit inside doing nothing all day. After that I have written down the following things, (and it's a growing list), and then I write in it about when I do something that's on my list. You have a life to live and in the words of Dr. Seuss, "Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!...Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So get on your way!"
