Before I Die

So I have this theory, that I think I actually stole from my Dad, that if you write something down where you have the ability to cross it off that you are more likely to actually do it.

So we will see just how many things I can check off, and I encourage you to make a list too. It's healthy, even if it's a little disheartening at first to realize all these things that you have not done yet. But it is good! So take a step forward in a positive way, and make a list of everything that YOU want to do before you die.  Preferably before you're old and frail. When you can afford to do anything you want but can't get out of a wheelchair. That would suck. So hop to it!

Love,

Alice
