quiregrrlI was digging through an old paper journal in search of the quote I've now posted in my front page thing, and discovered this list I wrote about 4 years ago... thought I'd add it here for amusement...
1. Live and work overseas
2. Travel to every continent
3. Be the healthiest I can be (lose weight)
(I have since decided that losing weight is not synonymous with being healthy, and I'm pretty damn good as I am!)
4. Learn to fly a plane or helicopter
5. Restore/renovate an old house
6. Live in the country
(can't imagine why i put this in, am hereby scrapping it!)
7. Grown my own organic veges
8. Stop being neurotic about insignificant things
(have actually achieved this compared to when i wrote it...)
9. Fall in love and stay there
(feel the need to quantify, i want to fall in love and be loved in return, and stay that way as long as it is healthy and right and working, and be insightful enough to know when it's time to move on and let go)
10. Save money
11. Have a least one child
(yeah, not so sure about this one anymore...)
12. Raise my kid(s) to be free-spirited, open-minded, confident, independent beings
13. Do volunteer work
(done it, do it, yay me!)
14. Do a massage therapy course
15. Make sure the people I love never doubt it
(done it, do it, yay me!!)
16. Gypsy around Australia in a bus/campervan
17. Parachute
18. Learn to surf
(what was I thinking? I hate the beach and am completely unco... strike this!)
19. Own a convertible
20. Learn to belly dance
21. Learn basic car maintenance
22. Do a wood working course
23. Do a metalwork course and make myself a wrought iron bed
24. Sing at karaoke sober
