My living dream list.

Inspired by my fellow Myeloma traveller Jet Black http://jetblackliving.wordpress.com who was in turn inspired by http://helenfawkes.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/my-list-for-living/

 I have decided to write my own list of exciting things to look forward to and things I would love to do whilst still on this earth.

I certainly don’t want to think of this as a bucket list as I am not happy with the idea of kicking any buckets!

I shall pick each idea carefully and dream widely about it.

I won’t let a lack of finances be a barrier as who knows what might happen next, I could win tonights lottery, or inherit a fortune from someone I didn’t even know.

I shall include what I like because it is MY list and I will change my mind about it if I wish.

If I achieve all or none of my dreams it will be OK I won’t use at a challenge or a list of tasks to be ticked off.

It will be my dream list.  In fact I shall call it my living dream list and if it only stays a dream it will be OK, but I will try to realise as many as possible.

The list will not be in order of importance

I shall report on all the ones I have achieved and how much it lived up to my expectations.

I can see this is going to be exciting.

I will welcome your ideas and be happy for you to join me in my dreams .

I shall dream BIG,  BRIGHT and BOLD.

So here goes with my list (so far) of living life dreams:

1. To have the most fantastic Summer 50th Birthday Party with live music, camping, Pimms, checked tablecloths and wild flowers. Surrounded by friends and family, dancing until the sun goes down in a flowing dress and a daisy chain around my beautiful long hair (which may need to be a new wig). This dream is already well on its way to happening!
