I found a journal the other day. A journal from 25 years ago. This was like uncovering a time capsule. On one page I listed my goals. The year of 1985 my top six goals were to ....
graduate from college with computer science degree - (I didn't because I changed my major to chemistry the second year of college because it is no fun to find a bug in a fortran program at 2 in the morning)
lose 10 pounds (wow THAT goal is still on my list ----and WHAT? I think I weighed like 90 pounds back then!)
marry Freddy Carl Williams (yep did that!)
have five kids (what the crap? glad I didn't do THAT!)
own a two story house - Glad I didn't fulfil THAT goal - stairs are no fun when you are in your 40's.
join a rock band? -- ok I was 18 back then ANYTHING is possible when you are 18.
This makes me wonder....
I have goals now even at the ripe ole age of 43. I am going to type these goals out and tuck them away for another 25 years. I will be 68 when I open it. Hmmm wonder which goals I will have achieved-perhaps I can finally check off 'lose 10 pounds'!
You do own a two story house.
