I am so excited! I have registered for Bay to Breakers (May 15th). This is the 100th anniversary too. I don't have the money or time to do a costume this year, but thats okay. All that really matters to me is completing Bay to Breakers. I will be staying in San Francisco that weekend at Ryan's house. he is such a good host. I will also check out the Greater Body Expo on Saturday May 14th. I have never been to the Expo, but always wanted to go. I don't know if I will participate this year in Bring your own big wheel (BYOBW), but I will be going.
Someone told there is an Aids walk in April at Lake Merritt. I'm going to check that out and see if I can do that too. I still want to do The Warrior Dash in October, but I feel I would need to train for that one. So we'll see if I do it this year or wait till next year because i want to be in good shape for it.
I am still reading and have just been writing it all down on paper. I 'll have to update my book list later this weekend. I have also started trying to learn how to play acoustic guitar through videos on YouTube. I suck! I will have plenty of time to learn more fun stuff now that Lent is here and I have to reduce my social networking. More time for reading, writing, and music. Hhmm sounds a little like school. I am also starting to learn how to meditate and work on my alone time. Working on both at the same time really helps. I have time to focus, relax, and do yoga too. Now that is starting to get warmer I can work on my soon to be garden out back, and finding a volunteer group to work with.

What's this all about?
I recently typed up a "Bucket List" in another blog in hopes of attempting to complete some of the items I have listed. Nothing happened...
On January 1, 2011 I decided to start crossing off things I wanted to do. The first of the year was a cold and rainy morning. It's the first time in a very long time that I woke up before 7:00 am to get ready. Yes I know that's sad. My good friend Virginia came to pick me up and we drove to the Bethel Island Frozen Bun Run at the Rusty Porthole. It was a blast; I was freezing but, having a great time. Originally just going to witness it was on the list, but I have added participating in the Frozen Bun Run Jan. 1, 2012 to my bucket list. It was also the first time I had a Bloody Mary ...
This week I have been looking through my Bucket List; trying to decide what to keep and what to toss, plus what to add. I thought: Why am I just writing this down and not really trying to do much about it? Well it's time to DO SOMETHING!
Project Bucket List is simple. I WILL complete at least 12 items from my list. One each month & attempt to do two, and add to the list as I check it off. I am looking for people who would like to match up Items on the list and do them together. The more the merrier! I am also trying to get my children to make their own Bucket Lists. I will post my new and revised Bucket List Sunday January 9,2011.
Yes I know we could say "goals" or I want to try new things this year. Having a Bucket List sounds a little more fun to me and appropriate. We never know when the end is near, we need to take advantage of NOW. Too many of us are so busy working and struggling to support ourselves and families for the future. It's great to plan for the future,but make time for yourself and go on an adventure. Even a mini adventure is good, try new things, food and finding ways to improve yourself and your life... Face your fears. Teach someone your favorite hobby. Volunteer. Everyday & every moment can be amazing... Only you can make it happen.

“Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before.” ~ Erich Fromm
