I just got my July issue of Real Simple Magazine and it gave me a great idea. Every week, every paycheck, every event in my life usually generates a list. What bills to pay, a grocery list, Aubrey’s birthday party… unless I organize a list and stick to it, I spend too much money on stuff I don’t need.
Most of our schedules benefit from lists. But is it possible that my life, my fulfillment even, could benefit from a “bigger” list? Here’s my list, and I’m sure I’ll keep adding to it:
1- save enough money and pay off all debt so I can truly be a stay at home mom
2- swim with dolphins
3- Go to/live in Italy
4- Learn Italian
5- Write a children’s book
6- Devote time and energy normally spent at work to charity work/school functions
7- Get my masters or become certified to teach
What about you? What do you want to do/accomplish/see before you die?
I like this! At the start of the new year, I made a list of what I want to accomplish within the next 5 years. I think it would be a great idea for me and Angel to do this together.
Now I must go home and read Real Simple….
