Goals

Don't call this a bucket list. No one is planning on dying. These are things that Meghan wanted to do and was unable to. These are goals. There is something powerful in the young being naive and feeling invincible. We get things done. We don't plan for horrible things. We dream, We have ideas and for the strong ones (Meghan) we accomplish or have plans in the works to accomplish those dreams. I know a lot of you have responded about wanting to participate with these and the HUGE response is amazing, exciting and inspiring. If you want to be part of any or all of these email me at adam.r.warner@gmail.com and ill try to organize and keep track of what we're doing, where and when. So.... here we go- (Thursday, September 10, 2009) Life Goals... 1) To hold a PhD, I'm not too picky on what it is going to be in. The way I am going though, I think it's bound to be nursing. 2) To learn another language. I've got a head start on Korean and French, I just need to get motivated enough to do it. 3) To master at least one of the following musical instruments - cornet, cello, piano, or guitar. 4) To live in at least 5 different countries - So far I've only got Canada and Korea. I'm assuming that I will have United States in the near future (preferably San Fran, DC, Portland and Maine). I'm thinking somewhere in Europe and in South America? 5) To run a half marathon. I've a lot of training to do though, seeing as the 5km I ran today was far from easy. 6) Spend at least 100 hours volunteering. (Note*** So far I'm up to 40h :)) 7) Master the following- sewing, knitting & crocheting (Note*** on my way with knitting/sewing, kinda sorta) 8) Become part owner of a Bed & Breakfast (with Adam) 9) Travel to 30 countries. I'm at 7 now. 10) Read at least 12 books a year until I die (Textbooks NOT included). 11) Complete 'The Weekend to End Breast Cancer' 60km walk in Toronto. Sept 11-12. 12) Own a little cottage by a lake. New Goals- 1) Take the train across Canada 2) ~~Go to an NHL game (don't really care where, I just want to go)~~ March 6th in Ottawa 3) Make Peter take me (and friends) to a Blue Jays game... I don't really have any interest in baseball, but I think it would be fun. 4) ~~Go to the Symphony.~~ Feb 20th in Toronto 5) ~~Get married (hahaha, um... no pressure Adam)~~ March 28th in Petrolia 6) Go to Canada's Wonderland with my friends/family 7) Take a road trip back to Maine 8) Go snowshoeing 9) Go ice-skating on the Rideau Canal 10) Get my darn tooth fixed 11) Get some darn shiny nice new glasses 12) I've always wanted to go to Ireland with my father... it's been a dream of mine since I was just a little girl. My father has been, and he loved it. I would love to share this with him while I still can. I don't think I'm ready to let go of this dream yet. 13) See the northern lights. 14) Travel to India to volunteer in orphanages.
