There’s much to be said for having a list of goals, of things you want to achieve by a set date. I do it all the time. I think to myself, heck yes, watch me go. Goals, here I come. And as I approach my 30th birthday {something I am looking madly forward too} I have considered a number of times writing a list.
Things to do before I’m thirty! You know the type.
But being a little different, a little odd even and a large dosage of competitive I thought best I salve my soul with acknowledging the things I have done, the things I’ve achieved, places I’ve been and adventures I’ve had. So that’s what I’m going to do. And I’m going to make it a weekly post from now until I’m thirty. Which oddly enough gives me somewhere around 30 something weeks. So watch out for them every Monday.
Did you have a bucket list? A reverse bucket list?
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
What a fantastic idea! I just noticed #1 is up. Congratulations on your 10 years and I look forward to seeing the whole 30. How wonderful when you have it all to look back on and feel so grateful and blessed. 🙂
Thanks Michelle. I’m excited to complete the list {sort of backwards, you know} and get really present to all the amazing things I have or have done in my life.
I have a bucket list! I don’t have any specific date to get it all done though, no 30 before 30, but I have one. It’s a random mish mash of things, not all I believe to be attainable, but things I’d love to achieve/do! You can see mine here
Thanks for sharing Nat. I like the no deadline just do it before the end type list. Bet yours has some amazing stuff on it. I’ll check it out.
Great idea! i love it.
you are going to be feeling soooo thankful by the time your bday rolls around!
🙂

I think so too. Looking forward to it!
Sounds awesome, I look forward to reading the posts.
Do I have a bucket list? Um yeah I guess of sorts, I know what I want but I don’t put time constraints on it. I find in my life at least that if I let my goals and dreams come together organically (when the universe sees it’s the right time for me) I have a lot better run, then pushing for things to happen and have the frustration of it not all happening NOW.
That’s it exactly. You know how I get… So I’m going the other way. Acknowledging all I’ve achieved so far. All I’ve done. All that good, warm fuzzy stuff.
I have 8 months until I’m 30, and thanks for reminding me!! I need to write a list of things I REALLY should have done before I’m 30. Get my license, travel in a plane. I’m so damn sheltered. Now in a state of PANIC!! Your way ahead of me…
Haha. It was the panic I was trying to avoid. I can imagine me, on the eve of my 30th having some sort of break down over never having taken a train trip across country or something equally as whatever. Haha. So I won’t. Not this time anyway. 😉
That’s a good way to do it! Looking forward to it. I have a 30 before 30 list. Another year and a half to complete it.
It is, right!? None of this angst, just acknowledgement for where I’ve come from. That’s the plan. 🙂
