When I saw this lovely wall by Alisa Burke @paintyourworld I was so excited to add another new item onto my yearly bucket list… as long as I make it through the year what would I like to try, do, be explore… feel?
For a few years now there are items that continue to show up on the list… that’s ok because bucket lists have no rules.
…every year is a step closer to getting somewhere. There is a place in your head where your passion, talent and happiness all intersect in almost equal circles on your venn diagram. This is the place I see in my head… and it is a wonderful place. Don’t get me wrong there are still things I will not enjoy doing … that is life, let’s be realistic.
Being a boss lady and growing a business takes time. This year seemed more poignant as “50” seems like a big number in my head… thank you to all my friends of many ages who called me a ” still a baby”. Lots of life to live they remind me.This year still felt different for so many reasons. My life felt as though it was mine again, for the first time in a long time. It felt good, I am my original self, mostly, not only in spirit but now in name as well.
Spending some time completing my yearly ritual, reflecting on how well I have been the architect of my happiness the last year, is always a time for sober self-reflection. I never complete everything on the list, some things continue to be on the list because I still find them important, just need more time or the right circumstances to come together … eventually, while others fall off the list simply because I no longer find them important.
This year I did pretty good… if I do say so myself. The key is to not over plan and mix it up with long-term goals and just makes me happy goals.
