Yesterday, we blogged about Dee's blog on "10 Lists You Should Write Before You Die." I've been developing my lists for quite some time now and offer a few changes based on my experience. To review, here is the original list:
- 10 people who helped me most in my life
- 10 most memorable places I've visited
- 3 best things I've ever made
- 5 best days of my life
- 10 best friends I've ever had
- 5 best journeys I've ever made
- 10 things that gave me the most pleasure
- 5 best books/movies/TV series
- 5 best gifts anyone ever gave me
- 10 things I wish I had done but didn't
Dee is perhaps more reasonable than I by keeping the list of lists to 10. Since I'm not one to contain a great idea, I'm adding some lists. If you live to be 100, it would seem making a list of only 73 things leaves a great deal left unsaid. Granted, the idea is to make the list meaningful versus a yearly accounting of one's life.
At any rate, here are my suggested additions:
- 10 favorite songs
- 10 best gifts you've ever given
- 5 places you most love to be in the world
- 5 things you did and wish you hadn't
- 5 things you'd like people to remember about you
With my additions, we're up to the 15 Lists to Write Before You Die for a total of 108 entries. A lovely number, if I do say so myself. More tomorrow...
