Life List Update

I posted this over 3 years ago (nearly 4!) and I am continually working on scratching things off. It takes time and patience and through the process, I realize that my goals have changed, my heart is molded to new thoughts, new hopes and dreams. How blessed I am.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain
