Dream List

I love this blog. I am constantly inspired by this woman - we'll call her Nicci. Since that's really her name, I think it's very appropriate that we'll call her that. I recently read her post "You Are Already Naked" - read it to understand the title. (Obviously, in that sentence, we're talking about "red" and "reed", respectively. Carry on.)

In this post, she talks about her Bucket List. I mentioned this concept to Hubs recently, and he declined to participate. He said - and I believe rightly, after some reflection - that it sounds too depressing. "Things I'd like to do before I kick the bucket." Yeah, a little downer there. So I posited that we call ours Dream Lists instead. We haven't followed up on the subject as a couple yet, but I've been thinking a lot about it as me.

There are lots of things I want to do in my life, and I wonder sometimes how many of them will actually ever happen. How many will change as my life - our life together - changes, and how many will become our joint dreams? I wanted to get a couple out there, if for no other reason than to look back one day and see who I was at this point.

1. Start my own business - tandem with this is quit my day job
2. Become really good at yoga
3. Visit an ashram in India
4. Live in another state
5. Write a fiction (sci-fi or otherwise) novel
6. Really be vegetarian
7. Grow my own food
8. Own an awesome camera and make some income with it
9. Grad school
10. Take a train vacation across the US
11. Skydive
12. Fire some guns
13. Learn to drive a Harley
14. Learn to sew
15. Be environmentally responsible, not just conscious

What are your dreams?

Namaste
