The Goals List

I tend to lose this list but often like to look at it for inspiration and for adventure ideas. You can call it the Bucket List or Goals List. I don’t really care to argue the semantics of it. We get caught up in our own lives and trying to advance and move ahead that sometimes we forget to stop and smell the roses. We forget to enjoy the journey instead of the destination. Here is my list of things that I want to accomplish in my life and I’m not waiting until I’m retired or full of money before I start going after it. I’m living it.
