"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Bucket List

~Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.
~Danny Kaye

I have a bucket list. I love the idea of putting down a whole bunch of things I want to do in my life. And it's not like once I do all those things I can die... I will always be adding. I think it gives something to look forward to.

I've only done two things on my current bucket list. One was to see a shooting star :) I saw one this summer. I even wished on it. No, that wish didn't come true-but I've never really believed in wishes...

I thought I'd share some of the things on my bucket list!

~Buy something for the exact amount on a gift card (including tax)

~Dance in the rain in a nice dress

~Flush a whole roll of toilet paper

~Go surfing

~Ice skate on an actual pond

~Lay in an intersection and watch the lights change

~Ride in a taxi

~Write a message in cups on an overpass

~Ride in a hot air balloon

~Leave the country

~Publish a best-selling novel


I have a list of more than forty things... and even right now my mind is going through more things I can add :) It's kind of exciting!
