HAPPY NEW YEARS! :-)
A few years ago I saw a movie that inspired me... it was called My Life Without Me. It was about this young lady who had to grow up at a young age and never really indulged in living life to the fullest. She lives with her husband, who was her first and only boyfriend, and their little children in a trailor on the backyard of her mother, whom she has never had a good relationship with. She works at a hospital doing maintenance and lives a life of routine and conformity to all the things that never were. Although still very young, when she finds out she has a terminal illness she makes a list of things she will never get to do in her young life and goes about them before she dies. Among those things are recording video tapes of herself for her children so that they will remember her and know how much she loved them, speaking out her mind, having an affair (not because she didn't love her husband or was unhappy, mind you, but because she never got to explore other loves and married the first boy she kissed), mending her relationship with her mother, and finding someone to replace her in her life to continue her life... without her. Someone to be a good wife to her hasband and a good mother to her children.
It was a beautiful movie that I highly recommend to all ^_^
It inspired me personally to make a list every year of 10 things I don't want to continue to go without. 10 things, whether they are silly or important milestones, that I want to accomplish because you never know when your final day will come and whenever mine comes I want to bask in all the things I did that made me happy without remorse of the untraveled paths I will leave behind. if I cannot remember each thing I'm confident I will forever have with me the joy and happiness of doing each and one of those things.
With that being said I present myself with the
10 Things I Will Do By 2010:
1. Get started on having my book published. G
2. Get my driver's license.3. Be selfless.
4. Reach my ideal weight (125 lbs ).
