About 1.5 years ago I created this list of adventures. On checking in on myself, feeling low about not having followed through, I realize that indeed, I have completed a significant number of these.  Here’s the original list with my notes so far.

What does this mean? It means two things: 1. We should all encourage ourselves to get out and get active exploring new possibilities, and 2. I have been very busy and need to give myself a massive break!

Oh wait, and 3. I AM TOTALLY SCARED OF CAMPING ALONE!!!!!!!!

The list:

• Camp alone – Have decided HELL NO! There are bears and cougars. That was crazy. Ok, ok, maybe.

•  Travel to Europe  – Yes, and I want so much more of it.

•  Learn to Make Thai food – um, sort of? Ok, mostly I ate Thai food, but oddly enough I now work for a company that takes travelers on culinary tours of Thailand. Coincidence? Creepy? Amazing? 

• Take art classes – Yep! I learned to paint in oils. Too much fun.

• Hike 12 new trails – um, maybe 4. So I need to make up for that.

• Go Clamming/fishing/crabbing for dinner – Indeed, tons of crabbing! 

•  Grow something – Yes, I am ging to say that I have been working to grow the new rowers program through our rowing club. I’ve also raised chickens. Check.

• Create a podcast – Nope. Still haven’t.

•  Feed Someone – Yes! Our new neighbors have become regular diners.

• Volunteer outdoors – Yes! We love our parks Dept.

• Write a book – Working on it! Several! 

• Act – Starting in on this now. Whew.

• Build something – Hmmmm. I’m not sure. I think I still need to.
