Lists make me feel productive.


I got a day off from school once again. This time it was due to bitter temperatures, which means that school will probably be canceled again tomorrow because it's supposed to be even colder. I wish I was one of those kids who got really excited about unplanned days off from school; but I just don't for some reason. This one was a little bit better than last week's unplanned day off, though, because I was actually able to sleep in. I decided that today I will write a list of some life goals in the attempts to feel semi-productive. Even if the relevancy of list content is quite low; I always feel productive when I make lists. So here goes...
(Goals are of random order.)

1. Never give false compliments.
2. Always let my light (faith) shine.
3. Read The Bible before bed every night.
4. Try not to re-read favorite books, but rather spend that time finding new favorite books.
5. Same as #4 except with movies.
6. Watch all of, The Sound of Music, without falling asleep.
7. Do one thing every day that scares me.
8. Go to all the presidential museums.
9. Write a whole slew of things and get a portion of the slew published.
10. Get a picture in National Geographic.
11. Live on the West Coast.
12. Live on the East Coast.
13. Live in Europe.
14. Learn to be extremely self-confident without ever coming across as proud.
15. Run with my crazy ideas.
16. Don't be too scared of vulnerability.
17. Try not to get too addicted to coffee.
18. Someday when I'm real old physically; own a bed and breakfast.
19. Own a melodica and play it.
20. Go to culinary school.
21. Go walking and talking outside with someone from sunset to sunrise.
22. Make a midnight pot of coffee and stay up all night talking with great people in a kitchen.
23. Sit on a bench in central park and feed birds.
24. Have a dog named Blondie and a cat named Bowie.
25. Paint little Waldos around a future house so people can play Where's Waldo in it.
26. Ride the world's largest roller coaster.
27. Inspire others.
28. Always give fantastic hugs.

There's always more; but I really ought to stop. Maybe I'll add a few every now and then...
