buck up (vb.)
So, in light of a previous "promise" I made - to make a list of goals, a "bucket list", if you will: It's nowhere near complete, but I did give it my best. I bucked up, took heart, gained courage, grabbed a pen (and now my Macbook) and went for it.
In the process, I discovered just how eerily difficult it is to give dreams physicality.
Also, since this experience of mine was really mind-opening and unsettling and exciting and daunting and energizing and inspiring and exhausting and refreshing and mind-blowing (for me), I figured I'd share it with you as it may be fun for you all to read something with an objective eye.
I present to you, A Bucket List: the visual edition.
1. Master the art of contentment.
2. Always find time and a space to practice yoga, however old I get.
3. Have a job that allows me to at least sometimes work from home.
4. Visit an ashram for some relatively extended period of time.

5. Go scuba diving
6. Decorate some future kitchen of mine with plaid tablecloths and curtains and other cheesy country style stuff. (and always have a huge bowl of fruit at the table.)
 |
| (Actually, anything in plaid will do!) |
7. Own my own home so that I can one day look back at carpet stains and cracked tiles, remember stuff, and get nostalgic.
8. Go on a yoga retreat
9. Take a guitar lesson or five
10. Learn how to sing
11. Take my future children to "the old country"

| (Mostly so they can eat the best meat on the planet.) |
12. Visit Israel again. and again
13. Learn to get by in another language other than Serbo-Croatian
14. Write a book..a memoir....
15. Teach English in Asia
16. Have lifelong companionship
17. Paint a few wall-worthy paintings; take a few frame-worthy photographs
18. Host dinner parties
19. Learn how to sew on a sewing machine
20. Take good care of my family, especially my parents

Awww.. this is amazing. Bucket lists are the best. Mine is all stored up in my journal somewhere, and coming along slowly, but surely.
