Oh Lala! Look I'm am posting another blog. Isn't it exciting? I know you have all been waiting in anticipation for more . As I mentioned in my previous post, I am poor at keeping up to date with recording my life. I did say however that I would do this daily/ weekly/ monthly or sporatically, since it was much easier to post a new blog than I had thought it would be may happen more often.
Anyhow, I would lik to share what I've been up to.
Last weekend I decided to write out my "Life List" Zaak, (my most inspiring brother) has a list and because I like to copy those I admire, I too have made my list and plan on fullfilling each thing on it to ensure that I have a life filled with the things that I will enjoy doing.I will write them on here cause I don't yet have a website. I started the list last weekend on the bus from Vancouver to squamish and after looking at Zaaks list this morning I realise we have some similarities, maybe subconsciously I got some ideas from you Zaak.
I have a feeling I will add more as time goes on. I'm super excited because I have no doubt that I will complete at least half of these things and Oh Boy don't they sound like fun?
