Chapter 3 of this blog was about some things that I wanted to do by the time I am 30. I believe that I was about 25 when I wrote it so at 27 some things have already been completed and I have conjured up some new ones to replace them. I am proud that I have done the following:
1. Finished my Master's Program
2. Maintain a size 12 or simply a healthy weight for my height---Maybe not as healthy as I could be, but I am still the same size.
3. Dance in the rain (DONE! Figuratively) Maybe not literally, but I did it!
4. Scrapbooking...I got a kit as a gift, but I haven't used it yet.
These are some of the things that I no longer want to do or i have reconsidered the importance of the timing for these things:
1. Although it is relatively cheaper to buy a house now--I don't want to buy one any time soon--especially not by myself.
2. Learn to speak another language. It's a gift and possibly fun, but I no longer care. (At least not as of today. :) )
3. Become a member of an investment club. Maybe one day on the other side of 40--but not any time soon.
4. Get a dog. I really do want one because I love dogs so much, but I'll wait until the time is right.
5. See the Pacific Ocean. Doesn't really matter when I see it. I just want to see it before I die.
6. Learn latin dances and ballroom dances. Doesn't matter when I learn really. It just looks like fun.
7. See Prince in concert and go on Tom Joyner's Fantastic Voyage . Doesn't matter when I go...
8. Learn how to build webpages and websites.
9. Have a baby.
10.Begin work on my own charitable foundation. Doesn't matter when...
Here is my list with my additions:
1. Go to the Caribbean to a Carnival Festival (Almost DONE! Thankful to see one in the Bahamas, but want to see one in another West Indian location. )
2. Learn how to play spades...for real. :)
3. Sing Karoke... I guess almost pull a "Benny and the Jets" from the movie "27 Dresses," minus the alcohol.
4. Maybe get a specialist degree...field unknown...possibly educational leadership with a focus in higher education...the jury is still out about the doctoral degree...
5. Go Scuba Diving or swimming with dolphins
6. Ride a horse...
7. Ride a motorcycle...I'm embarrassed because my honey rides bikes. I need to do better!
8. Submit a letter to the editor of the local editor
9. Begin writing a book
10. Start my own business
11. Submit an essay for publication in a journal or a manuscript for a column or blog site.
12. Go to Seattle
13. Go to Hawaii
14. Take a Belly Dancing class
15. Build a Habitat for Humanity House.
16. Go to the Cirque du Soliel
17. Go fishing
18. Fly first class somewhere.
It may not be 30 things as of now, but I am learning to take things in stride...I'm sure there will be more things to come. I'll keep you posted as I go along. :)
