50 things to do in my lifetime

Life is short, and we spend too much of it doing things we do not want to do, shackled to our jobs and daily chores. The free time we do have, we sometimes don't spend wisely. Ask yourself - what have you ever promised yourself you would do, or wished you could try? When you were young, what did you want to do "when you were older", and more importantly, are you doing them?

I am challenging everyone to create a list of 50 things to do in your lifetime. Your goals can be adventurous ambitions like "Test Drive a Ferrari" or everyday things like "Get organized". Don't just create the list, but be sure to scratch things OFF your list too.

I am beginning my list now, in hopes that I will remember to live life to it's fullest. Because a life not lived, isn't worth living.
