My 40 year old bucket list

Hi all. Just thought I would share some random thoughts. First off, I am pushing 40. Translation: I am fighting it every step of the way. I will be turning 39 this year, and so not looking forward to it. I vividly remember my parents turning forty (my mom had me when she was 22) and I remember thinking God are they old. Now as I turn the corner, pushing 40 I don't want to be thought of as old. So I thought I would document my 40 year old bucket list. Something to strive for, something to keep me young, at least at heart, and to ease the transition into 40. This is becoming not just a 40 year old bucket list, but my lifetime bucket list. (translation-provides me more time to accomplish my goals without the added pressure of setting a definitive deadline. Not to mention I turn 40 in 1 year.)
1. Learn sign language
2. Run in a half marathon (in Chicago baby)
3. Finish my masters in nursing
4. Reorganize and accessorise one room in my house completely. Not half way. Done.. No more..
5. Learn to salsa dance, tango, etc.
6. Discover what makes me truely happy
7. Run in the subway challenge series
8. Become a wine connoisseur
9. Travel to Italy and France
10. See the natural landmarks of the world (grand canyon, Niagra Falls)
11. Get caught up in my family photos/scrapbooks
12. Become more DIY confident and accomplish more projects
13.Allow myslef to make mistakes and be ok with it
14. Learn not to take things personnally
15. Create cards more regularly
16. To be continued

Hey its a start. Hope you all enjoy the end of summer. School will be starting in less than 2 weeks. Yikes. I am so not ready. I love my job, but I am enjoying my time off way too much. I think it was because I took 4 masters classes this summer and just finished them the August 8th. I start my next 2 classes Aug 23. I think I am a gluten for punishment. Oh well.. When life stops you die.. So heres to pressing on, living life to the fullest, finding PEACE along the way and savoring each moment. God Bless..
Peace out.
