50--My version of "101"

So I just finished a book called "The Next Thing on My List." It's not literary genius or anything (I don't have the attention span for literary genius these days!) but it did make me pause and think. The book is about a woman who gives someone a ride home from a Weight Watchers meeting and while the "ridee" is reaching in the backseat for a taco soup recipe from her purse they're in a freak accident and ridee is killed. The driver (the main character of the book) finds a list the ridee had in her purse called "25 Things I Want to Do Before My 25th Birthday." Main character is so overwhelmed with guilt because of the accident that she decides to complete the list for ridee before what would have been her 25th birthday. As I read this book, I thought of lots of different things: I've never made a list like this. I rarely even make to-do lists. I don't make New Years' Resolutions. I didn't even like setting goals on my mission. They once did this whole lesson in Relief Society about the importance of setting goals and writing them down, blah -blah blah. To me, setting goals equals setting myself up for failure. This is difficult for me to admit, I am many things and mediocre is NOT one of them. I'm an all or nothing kind of girl. But I guess that's why I don't make lists like this. You know, the "nothing" part. I have to say, though, that I'm really disappointed in myself. Why NOT set goals? At what point did I stop dreaming? Have I become jaded? Of course there are things I want to do, things I need to do and areas where I could certainly use improving. But what is wrong with me that I'm so afraid of disappointing myself? And why does it even matter? Is it laziness? Am I afraid of the accountability that goes along with A. Setting goals and B. Writing them down? And if so, why? I was so impressed with my friend Steph and her ambition to set 101 goals to complete in 1001 days and the thought of accomplishing 101 things I've always wanted to do IS a bit exhilarating. So last night I started my list. I just barely have 50 things on it yet and I hesitated posting it here because that just adds accountability and I'm trying to take babysteps here! I also have to say that I can't handle the committment of doing these in just 1001 days. So I'm extending mine indefinately and this will be my list of things I want to do before I die. No making fun of my list but if you can help me accomplish any of them, I'm open! So here is what I have so far (in no particular order):
1. Live in a foreign country again
2. Get my degree
3. Go on a cruise
4. Save money for something expensive that I want but don't need
5. Own a piece of jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

47. Take a gun safety class
48. Establish a routine of sincere morning and night prayers
49. Join a bowling league
50. Be in the audience for the live taping of a show (talk or game as long as it's one I sincerely like. Sorry Dr. Phil!)

more to come...maybe. Some of these involve pretty major committment and while part of me thinks I should accomplish these and then go from there, the self-depreciating part of me thinks I'm being a wuss and I should go for the 101. But would that overwhelm me? And I don't even know what I would want to add at this point? I mean, these are all the things I've ever really, really wanted to do. See? I'm pretty bad at this "life list" thing. What do YOU think?
