Wish List

Last year I stumbled across a book entitled ‘100 things to do before you die’ some were great ideas, some weren’t so I decided to start my own list…what you see here is the start of it, it’s a work in progress and once I reach 100 (if I reach 100) I’m not going to stop; I’m going to keep wishing as I keep living. There are dreams I haven’t even dreamt yet but when I do they’ll get added to the list and slowely but surely, one by one I’ll tick them off. I’m going to start living the dream…my dream, no matter how small or how silly some parts of it may seem.

Help build a house

Learn to play an instrument

Learn enough Greek to get by

Pay for a strangers food shopping

Backpack across Europe

Travel the world – stand on every continent, dip a toe into every major ocean

Skateboard

I was taught by a 9 year old from church and wasn’t very good however I am a little bit proud of the graze on my arm…

Conquer my fear of heights

Go paintballing

Go to the Olympics

Get married; at some point, I’m in no hurry and unlike a lot of girls, I have no plans…but one day in the distant future I would like to get married.

Skate on a frozen pond

Start a dance…in public

Go up the empire state building

Road trip the states

Snowboard

It wasn’t skilled and it wasn’t pretty, I spent a lot of time on my back with my legs in the air trying to figure out how the heck I was meant to stand up…but I tried it and I made it all the way down the snowdome slope…I’ll give it another go some day and next time I’ll try and come up with a better method of stopping than colliding with a wall!
