I just finished reading "The Next Thing on My List" by Jill Smolinski and it got me thinking about having a list of accomplishments I would like to have to my name. Sure, I want to be a better, nicer person, but I'd also like to do something with my life. Make a mark. So, I started a list:
1. be a runner. as in run a 5K (yes, the character in the book did this too, but still...)
2. get back down to 115 and stay there.
3. become a doctor - in language, literacy and learning
4. calm down
5. remember that others have troubles too. what looks good doesn't always mean life is grand.
6. write every day -- maybe even publish a book.
7. volunteer in an organization I feel strongly about.
So, it's a start.
