bucket lists

my friend emi wrote about her sweet grandparents and bucket lists today. a few years ago emi made a list of her own and she’s already accomplished 4 of the 5 goals! whoa! what do you do when you accomplish everything and still have lots of life to live? you make another list, of course. she shared about her new list here.

when i turned 28, i began making a list of 28 things i want to do in the next 28 years. many of them are a little too personal to share with the worldwide web, but some of the fun ones are:

1. learn to ride a motorcycle
2. climb a volcano
3. get married (you wouldn’t think it would be THAT hard!)
4. start an organization to support orphanages in third world countries
5. publish a book
6. walk part (or all!) of the camino del ray in spain
7. adopt children
8. run a marathon
9. ride a hot air balloon
10. spend a night in a hammock on a beach

what do you want to do in the next 28 years?

About

i’m ginger and, chances are, i like you.

i’m from nashville. but i live in downtown dallas now. i’m a daughter. friend. sister. believer. dreamer. lover of all things beautiful.

i spend much of my time editing books, which is my job. (don’t let the absence of uppercase fool you.) when i’m not at work, you can usually find me on a patio with some friends enjoying some nice wine and good conversation.

i long to make a positive impact in the world. one person at a time. and i hope that it begins with you.

Here’s my list: http://melislea.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-25-life-goals.html
I made it on New Years – I think if I did it right now though I’d have some revisions. Maybe I’ll review it annually.
