Bucket List


When I moved out to St. Louis with a friend her and I sat down one night and decided to write our life list.  The things that we want to accomplish in this life.  I moved around since I wrote mine along side her and I thought I had lost it.  One day I was going through my filing system and I found my life list.  Here it is in the same form that I had written it in.  I find it very interesting some of the things I wrote on there.  Such as Run in a marathon.  I hated running when I was 22 why in the heck did I even write that.  I am beginning to think its because my metacognition knows me better than I know myself.  Same goes with my “adopt a child”  I don’t know maybe one day I will but for now I have that checked off because I played the reverse role of adopting a child instead of adopting I became a child’s birth mom!  I will be rewriting some of these because my goals have changed.  I will go ahead and strike out the ones I have already accomplished. Here I go!
