The List

You would be surprised what you learn about a person from a list.  It doesn't matter if it's a grocery list or a daily to do list.  Each can give you a glimpse into a person's habits, lifestyle, and priorities.  This is especially true when you make a pre-bucket list.  I call mine 40 B4 40.  It's not filled with a bunch of outlandish and overly ambitious things like climbing Mt. Everest.  It's pretty mundane which gives you a clue as to what kind of life I've been living for the past 38 years... bland.

I'm a pretty passionate person so what happened to the spice?  It kept getting eaten up by fear.  Travel?  No thank you.  The plane might crash.  Concert?  Nah, too many people.  Produce another movie?  I don't know.  The first one didn't do what I had hoped.  It seems so silly now, completely irrational but the fear was real.   The good news is I'm no longer afraid.  Now I'm just easily distracted.  A major hurdle as my list is full of things that require long term commitment.

This is where you guys come in.  I need your help on the things for which I must start preparation now.  They include:

1. Getting back to a size 8 which will require me losing 40 lbs.

2. Finishing my script so I can start producing my movie.

3. Planning family trips with the extended families.

4. Planning three trips with my friends and sister.

5. Learning to do Beyonce's Single Ladies Video 

6. Doing a walk/run for a cause

7. Getting debt free

8. Attending two concerts one being the Black Eyed Peas

9. Learning one song on the piano

10. Planning my 40^th birthday party

11. Starting a garden

12. Seeing the Northern Lights

13. Learning to cook

14. Finding a church

15. Taking my son to at least one major sporting event


It's a challenge just to get everything scheduled on my calendar.  A task I have yet to complete.  I can't wait to get all of your suggestions and comments.  In the meantime, I'll keep working.
