I have this friend. Her name is Sara. We affectionately call each other: Sober/Drunk. The reason we call each other that is because even if we're sober we have as much, if not more, fun than if we were drunk.
Anyway, Sara and I decided to each write ten items (for each other) that we have to complete before we die. We then met for dinner and shared our lists. I loved this idea because it provided items from a totally different perspective. It also carried the added benefit of things we probably wouldn't have thought up on our own. We were allowed to veto 6 of the 10 items, if we wanted. There was only one veto total, and I'll explain why in another post.
One of my favorite items was to make a Happiness Board. I asked, "like a Vision Board, but with happiness?" I have a vision board, but it has been needing a face lift since the accident. Sadly, I haven't found or made the time. My friend said the Happiness Board was to be a compilation of all things that made me happy. Her hope was that every time I looked at it it made me happy or reminded me of all the things that make me happy. I could never have thought up something so great, and especially so perfectly timed for what I need now.
I am in the process of thinking things up and have decided to post them here. If I post them here, it will keep them at the forefront of my mind and then, I will slowly migrate them to my actual board.
I thought it a great idea and wanted to share here, too in case anyone else thought it a good idea for themselves ; )
yes!!! that is an awesome idea ;)
