I ponder nearly every second of the day and night as to why my life is not exciting. I think of the people I work with and wonder why I am so dull compared to them. They go out nearly every night, party, have a good time, and tonight it hit me. Their lives aren't exciting or any more exiciting that my own. I may do puzzles or laundry on Friday nights, but that does not make the lives of my co-workers who drink to oblivion each night a good time. Their lives consist of the very same boring patterns that mine does; we have different patterns.
These people do nothing extraordinary nor will they ever and sadly, nor do they want to do so. I dream of big ideas. I want more to life than getting up, going to work, and going through the motions. I demand more from life and while winter makes me sleep, summer is a time to awaken and get moving.
In the spirit of living life to a full potential, I am going to jot down some things I want to do.
This is a revision of "The List of Things I Want to Do In Life." Well, it's not so much of a revision as a new list, with a few repeats from the previous list because I never accomplished them.
These goals are in no particular order, but they are numbered because I adore numbered lists.
1. White water rafting
2. Run a marathon
3. Be in a community play
4. Publish something I've written-and not a vanity publishing
5. Design glasses frames
6. Learn to use my sewing machine
7. Become more crafty-knitting, sewing, crocheting, anything requiring a hot glue gun
8. Learn Learn Learn
9. Become an excellent cook
10. Have a dog of my own
11. Visit Europe
12. Travel by train
13. Become more active in the political realm
14. Drive across the country
15. Listen more, talk less
Goals shall be amended, added, and deleted as deemed necessary by management.

What a great list! First, start running and in 2-3 years you and I will run a marathon together (I need that much time). I am not kidding either;). Second, you could come visit me and you can ride a train. It isn't fancy and it is only for an hour, but everytime I go into the city, I take a train. Third, next presidential election, you should volunteer, I am thinking of doing the same thing myself. And one other thing, but I will email you about it:). As for the rest, you should make a point to do at least one of them a year. And as I am telling you this, I should do the same with my list. Maybe we can accomplish some together, i.e. the marathon and what I email you about...
