To-Enjoy List

list 1 |list|
noun
a number of connected items or names written or printed consecutively, typically one below the other consult the list of drugs on page 326 writing a shopping list.
• a set of items considered as being in the same category or having a particular order of priority tourism is at the top of the list of potential job creators.
Lists.  They are not something I would typically consider myself "good" at. What in the world do you mean you aren't good at a list?  How can you be bad at a list?
Well, it's really easy for someone, like me, who is a notorious wanderer.  This is not to say I wander about the streets; rather, my mind is a frequent wanderer.
I like to think that my mind wanders with a purpose, most of the time (keep in mind that aimless daydreaming can be purposeful, too).
I am really good at starting a list, especially once I get a big idea or get excited about something.  Then it just turns into a waste of unvisited, dust-collecting paper.  
I am in the process of creating a list.  Three years long to be exact.  The inspiration came from my good friend and former teammate Maureen.  She created a list and sent it out to her closest friends and family of some things that she wanted to accomplish before a birthday she has coming up.  
My list will be called 27 by 27.  27 things I want to accomplish or enjoy (or hopefully both at the same time) by my 27th birthday.  Why did I choose 27?  Because one of the things on my list happens in early 2014: The Sochi Winter Olympics.  
                                                            Knit with my grandma      Go to India                                Skydive                                                   Cook every recipe from a cookbook
A Three-Year-Long To-Enjoy List... sounds like fun to me!  Stay tuned...
