Celebrate Life

June 28, 2013 by Dawn Pasco

baby dawn

Me at around 1 year! Thankfully I outgrew my cheeks!

 


I’m celebrating the fact I turn 46 today.  Four more years until 50!  I don’t have any big plans this year, but have had a week of dinners and lunches with friends.  I feel very blessed to have such great friends.  It’s always nice to have a birthday week instead of one single day.  However, I always seem to enter the month of July one or two pounds heavier.

In past posts I’ve shared  how I love making lists.   I’ve shared nineteen things I’ve learned in the past decade here.  It was supposed to be ten, but I went over.  I also posted eight things I’ve learned from drumming here.  Today’s list will be a few of the things I’d like to do before I turn 50.

  1. Make it a habit to meditate daily
  2. Throw an 80’s theme party
  3. Be able to do an unsupported headstand
  4. Simplify and have less paper clutter
  5. Be a better photographer and know how to use my camera to its fullest potential
  6. Have a better understanding of social networking
  7. Enjoy the process
  8. Be able to Let It Go
  9. Have a backyard movie night at our farmhouse
  10. Get paid to blog and work with organizations and businesses that I love
  11. I want to have read the majority of books that I own.
  12. Spend several weeks touring Italy.

I keep adding to this list and a few things I listed last year I’m not so sure about anymore.  After all, a woman has right to change her mind. Do you make lists?  If so what’s on your bucket list?
