The Future

With all these new, positive, changes in my life it is so much fun to think about "What's next?!"

As most of you have read, I have been pushing myself to try new things. Participate in things that even scare me.

I have learned so much about myself. I know that most of what I am afraid of I have done myself, and life isn't worth living if we don't push ourselves to the limits.

Being afraid is such a thrill. It reminds us that we are alive, that we are human.

Now, let's not get it twisted... I will, more than likely, never be jumping out of a plane. However, I do want to push myself even farther and start planning what I want to do before I die.

Don't look at me like that.

Life is fragile, I could be gone tomorrow... it can happen in the blink of an eye and I don't want to wish I did something/said something that I had always dreamed of. "I WANT TO LIVE!!!!" (THAT'S AUNTIE MAME... OF COURSE)

So, I have started thinking about things I want to accomplish in the next year...

1. Reach my goal weight (which is my comfort weight, because I know longer have a number I am shooting for)

2. Ride a roller coaster... my girlfriends will be the first to tell you I FREAK out about them. But the one time I went on one, I LOVED it... and then couldn't get back on. So it's time for me to feel the free fall again. THEN decide if I hate it.

3. Fly a plane.... I want to take a flying lesson SOOOOO bad!!!!!! This needs to happen!

4. Go on a vacation to somewhere I have never been.

5. Wear something really SEXY!!! I want to feel like the hottest chick in the room!

6. See as many live music performances as my wallet permits.

7. Go sailing!!!!!

8. Learn a new dance technique... I've got Burlesque recently- so what's next??!

9. Take professional boxing lessons!!!! I cannot wait to spar with someone and learn the technique!

So that is my "This year I will take some chances and do this shit" bucket list...

I am excited about it. I'm sure more ideas will pop in my head. But for now it is just good to be aware and realize... I can do absolutely anything with my life. I have to take advantage while I can!!!

Love, love, and more love!!!!
