A list of things

Celebrate your life and where you’ve been. You’ve surely done so many cool things and so many things worth being proud of. Use these thoughts to focus yourself into the future.

After meeting up with friends today and talking about this I thought I would list off the things I have done in my 22.7 years on this planet. Summarised of course.

1. I’ve travelled a bit - England, Scotland, Switzerland, Germany, Thailand, India, China, Mongolia, Indonesia and Hong Kong…

2. I’ve done crazy things - skydiving, eating scorpions, impulsive holidays interstate with 2 hours planning. I’ve been jet-boating, walked on top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, and fed koalas and giraffes. I’ve ridden horses to exhaustion, skiied three mountains and tobogganed off the Great Wall of China. I’ve ridden camels, been parasailing, drunk alcohol made from horse’s milk and run a campaign that was featured on the news on all three commercial networks.

3. I have been active - played cricket, then tennis for years, now netball and indoor soccer. I have never played in a team that hasn’t at some point won a grand final.

Far out. Reading that I’m breathless. Maybe that’s more of a list of what’s made my life exciting - as opposed to accomplishments - but I would never trade any of my memories for expensive toys.

So when I plan for the future, I must remember - in my great memories there are no expensive toys or clothes, although they have certainly been bought. There’s only wonderful experiences shared with great friends.

Still problems with comments unfortunately. Still trying to fix. If you leave a comment I will get it but it won’t show up on here.
