I am proud to say that I have crossed off several items from my dream list! Here are all of the goals that I've accomplished during the past few years:
Graduate from college
Take a walk on a beach with my shoes off
Spend a week in New York City
Learn to fly a plane
Create a work of art (I sometimes paint) Have my picture published in a national magazine (Cigar Aficionado)
Take care of a sick stray animal (a baby squirrel no less!)
Read the novel "War and Peace" (it was ok...)
Attend the opening of an art exhibit
Make an anonymous donation to a local charity
Be a reading mentor to a child
Volunteer my time and talent with a community organization
Have something I write published
Give the eulogy at a friend's funeral (my friend John who died in 2004)
Watch a classic movie on the big screen (saw Gone With The Wind in 2003)
Keep a diary (well, I only keep a cigar diary - close enough)
Design my own website
Have an international pen pal (my good friend Mert from Istanbul, Turkey)
