Updating the List

About a year ago, I posted a list of things that I want to experience in life and realized the other day that this needed some updating. It was originally in a journal from about 5 years ago, but I wanted to get ideas for more fun things to add to it, so I put it on my blog. Here's the latest version...enjoy!

dance as though no one is watching you,

love as though you have never been hurt before,

sing as though no one can hear you,

live as though heaven is on earth."
