Life list....

I really enjoy Ali Edwards blog, and I read it every day. Yesterday her topic was "Life Lists"...have you done one?? A life list is a list of things you want/must to do in this lifetime, and the intent is to cross the items off one-by-one. She got the inspiration from a friend who said:

"After I created my life list, something magical happened. I actually started DOING things on the list. And friends offered to help me cross items off my list. And friends began to create and share their own lists with me. And reading their lists made me want to help them. And despite my lack of love for to-do lists, I've grown to love these lists."
So what do you want to do in this lifetime? Think big. Or small. Start slow, or let it flow. I challenge you to DO what you want to do with your precious life.

So....I took the challenge and started my list (seems kind of corny, but I thought "why not...what have I got to lose?") So....here goes!! These things are in no particular order....just jotted them down as they popped into my head!! I'm hoping others will make and share their life list, too!!
