" Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring". Oscar Wilde.
I recently discovered one of my old diaries - one that wasn't really journal entries but more lists and quotes and song lyrics, anyway I found a list of random (and yes some cliche) things I wanted to do in my life that I wrote a couple of years ago so hear it is:
1. send a message in a bottle
2. write a novel
3. fly first class
4. find a four leaf clover
5. build a snowman
6. dance in the rain
7. ride in a hot air balloon
8. road trip across america coast to coast
9. visit every american state
10. solve a rubics cube
11. see a musical on broadway
12. witness a solar eclipse
13. see a falling star
14. name a star
15. see a comet
16. learn to speak another language
17. see a meteor shower
18. learn sign language
19. meet someone with my birthdate
20. learn to juggle
21. finish a 1000 piece puzzle
22. live in New York
23. experience weightlessness
24. meet someone famous
25. get a perm
I love reading things I wrote years ago - it makes me look back at me at that time and think about what things I'm still aspiring to, and also how much we change in just the course of a few measly years. The funny thing is I completely forgot about that list and I've actually managed to tick a few of them off over these years without realising: I've solved a rubics cube (with the help of some nifty website that you punch in coordinates!), I've seen my very first falling star, I actually got a perm (I looked a bit 80's there for a while), I've met someone with my birthdate, tried to teach myself sign language from the internet, and i'm currently attempting (baby steps!) to learn a bit of spanish. Thats six crossed off the list already, 19 to go and the rest of my life to do it!!!
