What’s on Your Life List?
There’s a list I think we all should have. It’s kinda silly, but then so is life.
It’s about your heart, and how it appreciates the world around you.
Not your mind . . . that cold gray blob of reason, analyzing and working things out and planning and thinking about buying more stuff, because it’s there dammit! Okay, I still do this myself, too . . . I don’t want to talk about it. It’s fine to enjoy those things, too. Just don’t forget to enjoy, well, Life!
This is about what makes you truly happy. You’d be surprised: It’s mostly little things.
I beseech you, make a list of these things and tack it up where you can see it. Life gets busy–it would be a shame to get to the end of it and realize you missed all the good stuff. (Hint: the good stuff are moments, the things you can take with you).
“Failure is never quite so frightening as regret.”

Just to get you started, I’ll give you a peek at my list:. I’ve had it for 4 years now and I haven’t had to change it much. You’re welcome. =)
