Before I die

I found this website that was full of polaroids with a statement of what the person in the photograph wants to do before he or she dies. Some of them were very simple and some were very inspiring and some maybe a little disturbing. Please see them for yourself.

Anyway, it made me think about what I want to do before I die....and at first I thought, I've really done alot already. I'm very satisfied with my life so far, but then my next immediate thought was "what's next?"

On the website, as you will see, there are a few pictures that that say they could die now and be fulfilled. I found these to be my least favorite. Though they were most likely meant to be show happiness and fulfillment, they made me think of all the dreams and goals these people are not having. And if one does not have dreams, what does one have?

It made me think about my goals and dreams and what I can do to start working on them. At the present moment I can't think of much other than going back to Guatemala. I've wanted to go back since I went the first time. The steps that I have taken so far are looking into different opportunities in Guatemala. I found one working at a guesthouse that is partnered with an orphanage and also I looked into Helps International, the group we worked with when we built stoves. They have an education program, so I sent an email inquiry to them about possible opportunities they have opening up. I hope to hear good news from them.

I should start studying Spanish again in preparation.

I felt that I couldn't sleep until I wrote this down. I need it out there. I like to speak my goals, it helps me make progress.

This is so cheesy, but yeah, I'm going there:
I'd love to hear about your goals and dreams that you will accomplish before you die. Please tell me if you feel so inclined.

Love, molly
