Birthday Week

It is one week to my birthday and what better way to kick celebrations than to revive my blog! I have always been better at penning my thoughts than speaking them loud, not to say I am also an eloquent speaker, but writing for me is therapeutic!

This year I turn 43! When you are on the other side of the big four-o, you start understanding or rather paying more attention to mortality. My husband says I have become philosophical; I say I have started appreciating life more!

I was reading articles about life after 40 etc and read about “Things to do before you turn 50”. This was it! I had to document everything that I want to do before I turn 50! It will give me personal goals to achieve and keep me focused on living life rather than just life. I have 7 years to mark off at least some things off my bucket list!

So I started putting together my list and realised that what I wanted to do may not be all completed in 7 years! It gave me all the more reason to complete the list and ensure that I attempted to do all the things that I wanted to do in this life…..after all it is not like I will get another chance!

So here is my list in no particular order. Some of them would be easy to tick off but some of them would take a lot more focus and effort. But at least I have put them down on paper! I aim to have it printed and in front of me so that this remains my priority!
