So, today I saw an article about the new book from the blog, Secret Regrets, and I thought, how interesting, a blog about regrets, but once I clicked on the link and was taken to the blog, I realized, how sad. So many YOUNG people with SOOOOO many regrets!
Turning 40 recently, I had a change in perspective on life. You realize that, quite possibly, half of your life is gone. It makes you think, what have I not done that I need to do before...well...the deal is done~
I do have a few regrets, but those are for the younger set. Reaching 40, I want to now not think about those, but instead, think about what I can do TO LIVE. Deciding what dreams I need to put in my bucket. To work toward positive things, happy things, make your heart race fast, wind in your face dreams! So here you have it...me...blogging~
I would also like you to share your dreams with me. What dreams do you have in your bucket? Share your dreams with others on this blog~ Help them to fill up their bucket!
I will start us off on this journey. One of my dreams is to live at the beach. I love the beach and find it so soul-filling and peaceful. The warm sun on my face, wind in my hair, the sound of the ocean roaring...each of my senses are fulfilled at the beach. This dream is still in my bucket part-time, but when I pull it out, and spend time at the beach, I become a daydream believer! So until I find a way to reach this dream, I travel to the beach as much as I can. At least once a month, my dream comes out of the bucket, and I fill the bucket up with SAND!
So that will get the discussion started. What dreams do you have in your bucket? I cannot wait to hear them...maybe you will give me some ideas =D
Welcome to the blogosphere. One of my dreams is to make a success of the fledgling design company I've started with my friend.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Daydream Believer. Once I turned 40 (and I'm more than a tad past that) the same feelings hit me like a ton of bricks! My mantra became 'Life has just begun!' There are soooo many things to do, but I've learned to also savor each moment like a tasty bite lingering on my taste buds. Going to places like Europe (next month) is finally happening. I've never been anywhere and worked like a dog all of my life! Learning to cycle on the open road with my boyfriend and backpack not to mention fishing is exhilarating. I finally have learned to say no to commitments and make personal time for myself every week. And, yes, the beach, wearing a bathing suit for the first time in 10 years was so liberating! I looked pretty darned good and don't mind saying so. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteMy Bucket List? Visit Australia, New Zealand, Spend more time in Ireland, buy a condo at the beach, spend more time sailing. That will do for a start. :)
ReplyDeleteOh and watch the Canes win the Stanley Cup again. AND while we're on the subject, attend a game in every hockey arena and go the Hockey Hall of Fame.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm done now.
I've been to the HHOF and highly recommend it! And I've been to a few arenas...4 down, 26 to go :-)
