“The more we love the more we lose. The more we lose the more we learn. The more we learn the more we love. It comes full circle. Life is the school, love is the lesson. We cannot lose.” ― Kate McGahan Just over a year ago, I started this adventure with wanting to make my bed every day for a week. (See post here). Today, I FINALLY achieved my very first life list adventure as my husband started making the bed while I was still in it so I jumped out to finish it. Amazingly, as I go to add it to my list, it is the 40th adventure I have finished, thus completing my "40 before 40." This adventure has been a fun ride and has reminded me of the power of dreams, goals, and living each day with purpose and passion. It has helped to fill up my soul and work on finding a better work/life balance. When I originally started this project, I figured I would finish and be done after my forty, but instead, I have SO MANY more adventures that I want to go on that I am just going to keep on going. After just over a year, here are some new items I want to add to my list: Finish 100 items on my life list. Figure out how to turn my life list blog into a blog that people actually follow. Apply for the Colorado Teacher of the Year Program. Volunteer for Santa's Little Hackers Become a policy adviser for education in Colorado Write a letter to my newly elected politicians to advocate for more funding for public education Go on a 40th birthday trip with friends See a show at the Grand Old Oprey Try a new type of meat Give Inidan food another try Try Ethiopian Food I have also decided to take two different items off the list. First, my summer reading adventure--I loved the idea of it and got through some good books. However, I am realizing, that I don't want to be bound to reading certain books. Instead, I just want to READ! I also took walk 500 miles in a year off the list. Keeping track of it quickly became a pain in my butt--I know I am walking a lot more this year and I don't care to figure out how far right now. There is only so much band width and this isn't the bandwidth I want to use now.
