- Finish what I start 1863 people Some curious goals, especially since they are filed under "Books". #7 wake up when the alarm goes off?! Heck, I'd like to just get out of bed when the alarm goes off, I could wake up a little later. But what does that have to do with books, unless maybe you could read more if you got up on time. #9 swim with the dolphins? Did that idea come from a book, or is that person going to read a book while swimming, or maybe, she's going to write a book about the experience - okay, that makes sense.
I think # 13, identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money) is an admirable goal and one that I think I could do. In fact, I'm going to start today (or tomorrow). Ignore #1 above.
I have no desire to #2 and #6, write a book or #4, learn Spanish though I 've always wanted to learn French. I would like to do #5 and #10 read more, as in continue reading like I'm doing now. Along with that is #14, never stop learning. Learning helps me feel rejuvenated and young until I try to stand up and my knees hurt!

Just observe the number of people wanting to write novels and books, Booklogged. No wonder, it is so difficult to get an agent.
But I thoroughly enjoyed this.
love as always.
That last line had me laughing! I think it would be fun to write a book. I don't know if it's an actual goal, but if I ever have a fantastic idea for a book, I'd love to write a book.
Wow, a lot of those goals have nothing to do with books although 3400 people may disagree. Still it's an interesting exercise. You just want to learn French so you and Susan can talk in front of me and I won't understand. Don't you know I already don't understand most of what people say? I like the keep learning goal. That should be on the life goal list.
Hi Alyson,
(c/o Booklogged)
You are right. Writing a book can be fun.
It's a wonderful journey of self-discovery and re-invention and here's truly wishing you every success if you do put pen to paper or finger to keyboard.
I just read over this post. Good thing, too. I forgot all about identifying 100 things that make me happy. I'll get right on that tomorrow.
I'm not necessarily qualified to do so, but I'd be happy to help you learn French if you want. It'd be fun to have more people with whom to practice. Just let me know! :)
