An article on CNN caught my eye a month ago, and I mentioned it on the blog. Thanks to everyone that e-mailed me privately about their future hopes, objectives, and desires. I feel that goals, plans, and aspirations can include many things. They can be large or small, long-term or short-term. They can be kind gestures, long-term goals, personal achievements and travel destinations. It made me think about the future but more importantly to focus on enjoying the present.
Like I said, I would post mine later. I have two lists, one for specific goals to be accomplished during 2010 and one for long-term goals. For me, I find that if I don’t have goals written down they are not likely to happen and life leads me rather than me leading life. This will be an evolving list, but it's a list.

I gotta tell you Jim, this is a great list. Actually, as we spoke before, I don't much care for bucket lists. Simple reason being that 'experiences' have little value unless they make you better for relationships. But your lists are already full of relationships. Aint it great!
so cool. hope you get them done. after all time is really short no matter how you look at it. And like the song says, "Live like your dying." There is no time for regrets. Tho it does get you down. Hope all is well and things are taken care of. Love you guys.
We love you too, Illa. You know that other song, "love the one you're with"? Bun, I accept your challenge, and I'll do ya one better if we ever slow down enough to talk to each other.... kiss
