Vision, Life Lists, and a Plan?!



Here's a stupid sentence for you: You can't get somewhere unless you know where you're going. Here's where I hope to go. Which I've never actually put all together - in writing:

1. Write so well it pays the (modest) bills.
2. Victorian house on the Eastern Shore preferably on the water or just a block or two from it. Fixer upper of course.
3. Sell (potentially shitty and tasteless) arts, crafts and junk from a shop on main street on eastern shore
4. Bicycle or boat to work, grocery, bakery, wine shop, church
5. Raise children in said Victorian house close to the water with all the love, understanding, support, and caring we can offer. Plus a lot of fun stuff 'till we're not "cool." (as if we ever were? Don't tell them puh-leeeze)
6. Sleep in
7. Get up early
8. NEVER use a dry cleaner again. Nail polish will only be kept in the house for adorable daughter(s) sleep over parties. . .Same with high heels (oh who the eff am I kidding on that one?! hahaha)
9. Read a LOT, Think a LOT, Laugh a LOT, Share a LOT, Create a LOT
10. All with C forever, and ever
11. Know the neighbors really well - no matter what C says! haha
12. Have a big porch with the ceiling painted pale blue - perfect for iced tea, porch swings, lemonade, sunny days, thunderstorms, hide and seek, holiday decorations, sparklers, Monopoly and card games, and an occasional pilfered cigarette!
13. Animals everywhere! Dogs, cats, goats, goldfish, and maybe a rooster.
14. Is it wrong to insert [personal assistant and private jet] here? Hahaha!
15. Cook lovely meals for friends and family - celebrate several times a week - for fun and fellowship.
16. Volunteer - reading programs for young and old, mentoring, pro bono work with experienced attorneys, Humane Society, etc.
17. Learn how to sail
18. Take more piano lessons and learn jazz piano (who knew d had nearly 12 years of classical piano lessons? Who also knows d has no rhythm and is nearly tone deaf. Quite an accomplishment no?)
19. Live simply with heart and grace and compassion and teach our children the same. Doing the right things at the right time for the right reasons.
20. Document it all in pics
