It isn't uncommon for me to have a to-do list sitting on my desk at work every day.
It also isn't uncommon for me to have a list tacked to the fridge or a bulletin board in the house.
These lists contain things easy to cross off. Tasks that are easy to finish, or things I must do on a daily basis.
But, hidden deep in the recesses of my brain, and hidden in my heart is another list. A list of dreams. Maybe even goals, but definitely not the kind of thing I can simply finish in a few minutes and cross off a list.
Like many bloggers, I want to be a published author someday. I'd love to write children's books and have a couple bouncing around in my head.
I would also love to someday turn my love of quilts and quilting into pattern writing.
And you probably know that I'm pretty heavily involved with the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, but I want to continue to do more. I would love to someday be on the board of a non-profit that raises money for research and local support in the breast cancer community.
I know that all of these things can be a reality someday. I've got a lot of life left, and as long as I've got them on the horizon, I can continue to work towards them.
What is a long term goal or dream of yours? Do share.

Writing a book is first on my list and I'm trying to take steps towards that THIS year! :)
Beyond that, raising my family, travelling, bigger, broader things!
You DO have lots of life left!! You can DO all these things you want to AND MORE!!
My list includes:
Kids
A masters degree? but in what, who knows.
A book.
Josh and being that really adorable old couple holding hands in the park.
So many goals! I always have a running list going, one that I only know about.
I want to finish painting my kitchen (short term but still).
I want to have TIME to things for me (knitting, scrapbooking, learning to sew etc).
Be stable in life...that is the big one
What a great post.
I want to raise independent, compassionate, strong, giving and unique women who will leave a positive footprint in our world.
..and hope that I can be a role model for them, as most days I am not.
