Thoughts like:
-hmm, I can do most those things even if I have kids
-it was hard to come up with even 12 things I wanted to do, basically 85% of that list was me forcing myself to come up with things that remotely sounded fun or cool (I'm either boring, lazy, or like to do only a few things :))
- I don't have the slightest motivation to do some of those things ( I may need some coaxing-so if anyone is already going to an open mic night then I may consider coming along, well of course only if you invite me)
-that I'd actually rather have our baby here with us than care about going horseback riding this year
and then to top those thoughts off ..I ran across this verse today...
"Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever." I John 2:15-17
Wow!!!Whoa dang! Talk about reshaping some perspective on my "list a roo"! Jesus help- cause I'm definitely not there yet!!! I have lots of cravings for physical pleasure and stuff I see, and even today I took some pride in my achievements.
God, I thank you for who You are and I need Your grace (grace=the influence or spirit of God operating in me to regenerate or strengthen me) to help me look up and not so much around at what I want...

I love the photo!
Kimi, I love you! This is a great post. You are a deep well, and I just love seeing the world through your perspective as you follow God's lead.
I do agree with your friend Kandis about number 12 though. :)
Thank you Kandis and Wendy for your encouraging comments...
