Day 45 - The 10's

I love Pinterest. I love the wide variety of topics to search, awesome quotes, pictures, ideas, recipes, workouts, etc. I love stumbling on so many random things as well. I love the fact that although I have always been extremely creative and imaginative, when I am on Pinterest it expands my creativity. I will see something, put my spin on it and complete it. I don’t just sit around pinning all day. I pin things, screen shot them into my phone and try to complete as many as I can. When I was hired as a Wedding Coordinator for a Nascar driver and his wife in NC, as well as my own mother’s beach wedding, baby showers, parties etc., Pinterest has been a huge part of the process every time.

Anyhow, recently I was on Pinterest and stumbled upon a really neat pin. It was a self-questionnaire in which you ask yourself the following things:

Name 10 things you want to do before you die (then go do them)
Name 10 places you want to visit before you die (then go to them)
Name 10 songs you want to hear before you die (then get your friends together and scream them)
Name 10 books you want to read (then go read them)

Then it said:“Because right now all you have is time time time, but someday that time will run out. That’s the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.”

It continued:
List all the things that are wrong with your life (and then fix them)
List all the things that you love about your life (and be thankful you are blessed with them)
List all the things that hold you back (and realize you don’t need them)
List all the mistakes you have made in your life (and make sure you never repeat them)

And this one is my favorite of them all:

Try to list the endless reasons why it’s good to be alive and then just smile about them for a while.

So, my intention today was to complete this questionnaire. I sat down, paper in hand. I wrote out all of the questions and numbered accordingly below each question. I sat quietly (yup, you guessed it… tea in hand!), pondered each question and filled out as many as I could. I actually enjoyed completing this intention. It was thought provoking and insightful.
