Alright Citrus, you inspired me- I now have my own 43 Things! You can view my list at www.43things.com/person/bttrfly28 This is a really creative site and it really helps a person to get it together and decide what exactly he or she wants to achieve. I didn't find 43 things to be enough for all of the goals I want to reach, but having only 43 makes it less overwhelming.
I also recently came up with a list of 100 things that make me happy (I chose that as a goal for one of my 43 things) and a list of some of the best times of my life. I figure that I can refer to these lists to decide on (a) college major(s), a career, get ideas to implement into my life (to better enjoy life), and can use them at difficult times to help keep me going. I would definitely recommend making up your own lists on the aforementioned subjects!
Half of the time I feel as though I am just waiting (for WhAt though I have NO idea) for my life to start. I had read or heard that opinion expressed by someone else, years ago, and probably only realized recently that I feel that too. I want to be done waiting...I just have to figure out how to shake that mindset.
Hmmm, when Citrus and I first started this blog we figured we would create a monstrously huge blog. Well, I think it's safe to say that that hasn't happened yet!... However, we do keep coming back to it (even if it takes a while)! Who knows? - Maybe someday this will be gloriously long. Until that time though, dear-possibly-non-existent-reader, keep being patient with us.
I would like to take this paragraph to recommend some things to y'all (there are some words and phrases that I adore, and will probably continue to adore, no matter how much I get teased about them). I don't believe that a person should live his or her life without experiencing...
*Watching "Dead Poet's Society" *Reading "Anne of Green Gables" *Having a midnight phone call *Seeing the show "The Phantom of the Opera" *Traveling (I could recommend about a million favorite/absolute must-see places of mine! : )) *Dancing, rolling down a driveway, and singing in the rain *Riding the Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, and/or another roller coaster that, before the ride, terrifies you *Watching a sunset *Watching a sunrise *Seeing the show "Wicked" *Taking a drive in a pretty area by yourself while listening to music you love and singing along loudly *Pulling an all-nighter with (a) friend(s) *Riding horses (and not just on a ride at some fair or on a "we'll only be walking our horses"-trail-ride) *Screaming at the top of your lungs for the exhilaration *Having a shamrock shake on St. Pattie's Day (the fact that they are green and fun is so distracting that I'm not even sure if I enjoy the taste of them) *Waltzing (even if you don't know how, just trying it is even fun) *Eating a whole pint of ice cream *Sleeping outside under the stars *Volunteering (!!! I can't say enough about it !!!) *Doing things that scare you *Smiling often *Being generous with your hugs *Truly listening to someone *Giving flowers to someone *So, I could really go on and on for a while but I'm going to end this post now before I lose you ~Seize the day!! ~*M.M.*~
