Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift; that is why they call it present- Kung Fu panda ;)
I always had the fear that when I am 70 years old and look back on my life that I will think "ok what have I done in the last 70 years?" and so I created my own list of things I really want to do before I die.
This is my personal list of things I want to do before I die. Some of them I already did but I wrote them nevertheless because I think that they are very important things to do.

Hey, Vera! They are really cool plans!!
ReplyDeleteI want to do 18,60~62,80 and so on!! If I can, with you^^ You must come to Japan, so 145 will be true :) If you want, you can do 21,22,145 at the same time because we have some spots of ghost in Japan and normaly, it's always close to the place we have a lot of water like the waterfall. I can show you, but I don't want to do that with you^0^; Good luck!
@Louis: yes I always wanted a list like this because there are always so many things I want to do but I always think that I am too young, but then later I will be too old. So I made a list to see on one view what I want to do. For me the propose of this list is to remind me that I really have to live my life and not just survive it.
ReplyDelete@ MIZUKI:
Yes, I would love to make all of this things with you!!
number 145 is sure! and I hope number 60 too(because this includes also other numbers such as 62 and 61)!!
You have to visit me as soon as possible!
thanks for all your comments!
