My Life List of Fun

One day last year I sat down and started writing a list of all the fun things that I would like to do in my life. I don't like the word "Bucket List;" it just sounds final in a way. I guess, to me, it has a negative connotation when for others, it doesn't. I decided to call my list "My Life List of Fun." These are things that I would love to do some time in my life. Not all of them are big things, per se, just things that I think would be fun to try or experience.

This list is meant to be different than my Happy List I created back in October. That list was meant to be some goals that I wanted to accomplish in a matter of months, not over the course of my lifetime. I wanted to work on those things to maintain my goal of staying happy. I also wanted to stay true to my goal of doing the what I love and not losing myself again. This list is meant to be a more "lofty," long-term ideal for which I want to strive.
