After reading the list...the next step

Would you believe I've already had one reader contact me on Facebook about how much she enjoyed Live the List?  I couldn't.  That must mean the book was reasonably easy to read.

And the best part is that she seems so inspired already.  She is eager to make her list.

I completely understand that.  We've been talking about our lists for 2012, figuring out what we're going to put on them.  Saturday night we had a great time with Jennie.  We went to Carolina Christmas.  We fed and pet the animals at the petting zoo.  We snacked a little here and there.  And we toured some RVs.

You can only guess where this is going.  I can only guess where this is going.  With us, the sky is often the limit...unless our finances limit us first.  Ah, but we are super big dreamers, hence the need for a blog where I talk about our dreams and our approach to life...What Dreamers Do.

I started it last year when we started our most recent project.  The plan was to buy a sailboat, learn to sail, and spend our winters in the The Keys and the Caribbean.  It was a great plan.

We found and bought a sailboat.  We started taking lessons.  We spent many wonderful weekends on the boat, both alone and with friends.  And then, Fourth of July weekend, we demasted.  And all of our sailing dreams came to an abrupt end.  We figured it was a sign that maybe, just maybe we shouldn't venture from shore by boat...at least with just ourselves at the helm.  And so our starter boat was also our ender boat.

Our dreams of traveling around, seeing what life has to offer, and spending winters in warmer climates has not ended.  We're just working on changing it up a little.  The next few months will play a big role in those dreams.

In the meantime...we are readying our lists.  Give it a shot.  See what you can come up with.  And once you start practicing to dream, you'll learn to simply dream bigger.
