Portofino, Italy
Over the weekend my husband grabbed a magazine about 50 Things To Do In British Columbia Before You Die. We looked through each one and selected many places and sites we want to see – they look amazing. Later, it got me thinking about my life and if I am doing all the things I want to do before I die. Now, I hope dying is a long way off, but it’s important to think about as the days pass so quickly and I want to ensure I don’t die and miss out on anything.
So I started making a list and it felt really great to get some of these ideas on paper. Here are a few items on mine:
- Walk on all 7 continents.
- Spend a month in Tuscany.
- Visit Portofino, Palermo and Greece.
- Visit my host family in Hannover, Germany. (I was an exchange student in the 10th grade and I would love to see my family again)
- With John at my side, drink wine and eat cheese gazing at the Eiffel Tower.
- Own a cabin in the woods on an alpine lake.
- Own a winery.
- Go on a several week long vacations with my parents, sister and her kids.
- Zipline.
- Cruise to Alaska.
- Go to the Oprah Show in Chicago.
This is only the beginning of my list and it just makes me smile to think about my life, my goals and I what I want to accomplish. I encourage you to take some time to create your own list and be accountable to it. On their death bed no ever said “I wish I had spent more time at the office.”
