Life is an Adventure

35th Birthday!

Just a little over two months ago I turned 35.

Not exactly a milestone birthday but for some strange reason 35 got me thinking...

What did I want to accomplish before I turned 40?

After all, 40 is still considered milestone birthday.

I made a decision to make a list of 40 things I wanted to accomplish before I turned 40.

Armed with a piece of notebook paper and a mind full of ideas, I started to jot down all the things that I would love to do in the next five years.  A mini bucket list if you will...

 

 

After a few revisions my list was complete; a broad array of items to be crossed off.

Some items on my list are sentimental.

I have a photograph of my grandmother at the Great Wall of China that I've always admired and treasured.

I would love to have my picture taken at that same Great Wall just as she did over 30 years ago.

 

 

And other items, such as petting a lion or tiger are exotic, scary and will take some VERY creative planning to accomplish!  Perhaps it will be an adventure all in itself.

The main reason behind me starting to blog is to keep me accountable to my

 40 Before 40 List.

But that’s not all.  In between crossing items off my list I plan to share my thoughts and life experiences along the way.

My grandmother used to always say, “Life is an Adventure” and I couldn’t agree more with the expression she used to say with such zest.

Now, which item should I cross off my list first?

Stay tuned because I'm just getting started...
