I’ve never had the desire to blog, but after watching “The Last Lecture” and reading the book, I decided to start one. Randy Pausch gave this lecture while he was dying of pancreatic cancer. He really stresses the importance of living your childhood dreams. This made me ponder what my childhood dreams were, and if I have achieved any of them. This is the list I came up with:
1- Go to college (I will accomplish this goal in December! I will graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education)
2- Marry my best friend (I married him in August 2011. I am one lucky girl!)
3- Be a teacher (I will be!)
4- Be a ballerina (Won’t happen, but that is okay because I love to watch ballets. I also keep up with the life of ballet dancers while I watch Breaking Pointe!)
5- Be a vet (I learned early on I can’t handle blood, but I’m still counting it because I saved stupid Cooper from the pound.)
6- Be a writer (This blog will count as being a writer. Let’s be honest I won’t be publishing anything anytime soon, so this will have to be the next best thing.)
7- Travel the world (On my to-do list!)
8- Own a motorcycle (My cute husband bought me a Honda Rebel in April 2011. I am a biker chick!! YAY!)
9- Own a Saint Bernard (I already own a horse (AKA Cooper.) I think owning another huge dog will make me lash out irrationally. Maybe somewhere down the road, but then again evil never dies, which means Cooper will be around forever!! My husband is lucky I love him!)
10- Have a family (I have started my own family by getting married and we do see kids in the FAR future)
I think I am headed down the right path. I have accomplished most of my childhood dreams, but now I need to fulfill my adult dreams. My biggest dream is to be happy. This blog will help me focus on the simply things in life that are often overlooked. Hopefully I will keep up with this blog and others will want to read it.
YAY!!! I'm so happy that you {FINALLY ;)}started a blog! Loved reading about your childhood goals! And I'm totally jealous about your motorcycle! Love that you're a biker chick!
