a goal to collect goals
Well, not really. But I was just surfing around 43things.com, which is a totally inspiring website, and thinking how many great goals people have set for themselves. Not necessarily anything that I would take up a slot in my 43 precious goals with, but worth noting nonetheless. They run the gamut from huge, sweeping and impossible to achieve, to heartbreaking, to poorly spelled, to funny, to mundane, to ridiculous. But I love that the goals can provide such a little snapshot of someone’s life. I decided to start posting some of the ones that catch my eye.
hug an elephant
see the northern lights
leave the house on a bike and come back after traveling the country
count everything I own made in china
move to hawaii
learn how to whistle really loud with my fingers






kate,
hope this doesn’t come across as preachy or show off-y but i was thinking about the goal you wrote about moving to hawaii. if it is really what you want…even as a temporary thing… you should just move there…there will never be a “good” time to do it. when we decided to move to argentina it took us about 2 weeks to decide to do it and then we went all in. we are still feeling the repercussions of it a bit but we did it and it was amazing and we survived and are making things work. i guess i am just trying to encourage you by saying that as overwhelming as something like that seems (and sort of is) it is totally feasible and absolutely worth it. go enjoy it..it’ll be amazing for both of you.
