Things to be thankful for... one day.


Dear Aimee,

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I hope your day was filled with Turkey and joy. Mine was good for the most part. Family tension is inevitable but thankfully my brother and I were on good terms today; probably because I only saw him for an hour spread throughout the whole day. I had food poisoning this week so I wasn’t able to eat much today but portion control is always a good thing J… I figured I could write about why I’m thankful but instead I’m going to write a list of things I want to do before I get too old. In no particular order, here it is:

·      Take a year to live in France and write my days away like the Lost Generation
·      Spend several years doing mission work
·      Go cliff jumping in every continent (except maybe Antarctica because that water is COLD!)
·      Sleep on the beach
·      Visit New Orleans
·      Road trip America
·      Ride a camel wearing a tunic and turban in the Middle East
·      Make friends with an old man that will give me wise advice
·      Take a homeless person to dinner
·      Go skiing in the mountains and get snow in my hair
·      Figure out a place to serve within the church
·      Get married
·      Have a wife that wants to embrace change
·      Have children with awesome names
·      Become part of an activist group
·      Intern for a rad organization
·      Picture document my life
·      Learn four foreign languages
·      Own a cool shop, like a used book store or something of that sort
·      Graduate from college (but if I can do the rest of this list without this one then I won’t complain)
·      Do a backflip
·      Learn to play an instrument
·      Read an entire book in one day
·      See The Machinist
·      Make friends around the world
·      Live in an Earthship House


I think that’s good for now, I’m sure there’s more, I’ll keep you updated.

Peace&love
