I am sorry if this List has been made before. But please, I demand( pretty please?) all of you to LIST and share your most cherished goals ambitions, dreams, hobbies, places & things you want to do and accomplish within the next 5-10-20 years. I ask you this because I am running out of things I want to do and accomplish and PEOPLE are just amazing, the things they dream of and desire and have done. Life is just too good to be wasted.

I will start, you can add as many numbers of listed things you want, and post as many as you want. And be honest.

1.) Decorate my apartment
2.) Attend a worthwhile musician's concert
3.) Move to a Northwest metropolitan city
4.) Eat sushi and caviar again soon
5.) Knit a twin-size blanket
6.) Purchase a candle to enjoy!
7.) Find a secret, favorite cafe spot to call my own
8.) Open my own clothing & accessories boutique
9.) Get back into oil painting
10.) Sell the painting
11.) Purchase a house and have my own vegetable and flower garden
12.) Travel to Europe & build a photo collection
13.) Wear a color I never would think of wearing
14.) Live in Canada for a while (1-2 years)
15.) Do a fund-raiser
16.) Start my private library
17.) Treat someone out to a lovely cruise dinner
18.) Give away things I don't need to have
19.) Make my own "signature" recipe
20.) Learn to speak French
21.) Do something I used to be scared of doing
22.) Visit Vegas
23.) Adopt a dog
24.) Roadtrip with a friend across America
25.) Bonfires at the beach


Now it's your turn! List even the most simplest, common things. The point is that you list things you are going to do some day in your life.

I love both of your ambitions and goals, taurus and Aphrodite. It gives me a peek that some of us still want to do good for humanity and for ourselves. That we still dream.

I hope more people will join in and just dish out anything without holding anything back!

1) To have a happy home where friends are welcome, but to balance that with my need for solitude.
2) To encourage my family not to make plans involving me without asking me.
3) When I am ready and able, get a rough-haired Jack Russell who will be called Travis Bickle, Fidel or Fritz, or none of the above.
4) To go on holiday, anywhere, by myself
5) To be happy alone and not need anyone to fulfil anything lacking in me as I will be able to do that for myself
6) To one day have a mutually respectful and honest relationship with a funny sexy man who will buy me Joe's ice cream on Sundays
7) To learn a trade like plumbing or carpentry
8) To get to know my mother and overcome my fear that she doesn't like me
9) Start up a craft business that will bridge, financially, the difference between living and existing
10)Get back into archaeology and do some volunteer digs
11)Spend more time with children (Lara, you just pricked your ears up right? haha)
12)Further my knowledge of astrology

Great thread patisserie, thanks!

Yes a great thread!
I have sooooo many things on my list!
Here are a few!
I would like to walk unaided, and climb stairs and ride a bike again!
I'd love to prove the doctors wrong and do all that again!
