I borrowed this from Instantly Mama.
I really liked this list. I've turned it into my own. I bolded all the things I've done. I *ed the things I want to do. I've added some comments for humor. This list may end up taped to my bathroom mirror next to the Dave Ramsey steps (isn't it sad that I hang those up? I need constant motivation in our path to get out of debt.)

What isn't listed:
I want to see all 7 wonders of the world, to go on a medical mission trip, live to be 120 (and be healthy), meet my grandchildren and great grandchildren, to deliver a baby, to work with pregnant teens.
Mostly I want to show everyone who looks at my life to never say never and be willing to try something because failing is so much better than never trying. If you fail, you get up and try again (and again and again and again). I don't want to live with the regret of never trying.
