A Life List
So this was a writing excersise I saw on a favorite blog and completed for myself today and I thought I would share it here because my Life List is a much different list than it would have been three years ago pre-WLS. So this is my Life List as of today..it will be added to as things are crossed off and accomplished so just like us and all of our journeys this is a work in progress. But I thought it would be good for us to share and see where we are and where we want to go along this amazing and at times difficult but always worth it journey. So here is my List:
**In no particular order**
Okay so that is what I came up with today. I wrote it in my notebook so I can always add to it or cross stuff out as I accomplish them. But I thought it was a good start to a Life List and it really did stretch my imagination and got me thinking so it was an excellent writing exercise too!!!
So what does your Life List look like??
Much luv!! Laura
