Bucket List Update

Since having restarted this here little gem of a blog I've obviously been busy trying to live life. So much has happened over the past 7 months and yet so much has stayed the same. My big word for this year was risks. I wanted to take more risks. There were plenty of other things that I wanted to do as well that I failed at after about 2 months. Can't say I didn't try. But I have to say I have taken more risks overall. I think my confidence has grown over the past few years and this has allowed me to take those chances. I also wanted to accomplish 5 things on my bucket list. And so far this year I have crossed off 2. I plan on crossing off at least 2 more by the end of summer, but I can't tell you what those are yet. I'd say I'm making good progress. So what were my 2?

Both of them were on my list which means they were something I wanted to do. However, one I didn't think I ever would allow myself to do and wound up doing. Funny how life works isn't it?

I rode a motorcycle. That was quite the thrill ride. I can't exactly describe what it feels like and the adrenaline rush associated with it. If you have never ridden one, find one. Ride it. Love it. Honestly, I was never a huge fan of motorcycles. They were loud. They were driven like maniacs. Just not my thing, but I always wanted to give one a whirl. My viewpoints on them now are completely different. I'm not saying I would go out and purchase one tomorrow or anything, but I definitely would love to keep riding.

Are you ready for this one? Yeah I'm sharing something illegal here. Not 100% proud of myself for this one, but what's done is done. I smoked pot. No other way around that one. It was one of those nights where I was out with some friends, normally I would turn it down, because it's not my thing, but apparently I was feeling the rush and urge that night to just try it. I did. I can't say I felt one way or the other about it. Other than that it let me sleep really well. Haha. I also can't say it's something I will do again...ever. But now I can tell my future children that mommy was a little rebel in her youth, well early adulthood. ;)

And so here I sit 2 down and 3 to go. Those are mighty big risks too. I'm only doing my best to live a little over here.

Peace&Love
