Stymied!

I have been reading (and re-reading) a book titled "Create Your Best Life." It's a remarkably good book in my opinion, not your normal self-help fare. It is filled with lots of sociological and psychological studies, examples, etc. on what makes people behave the way they do. Goal setting and accomplishing those goals are apparently the golden keys to creating your best life.

I have met most all of my life goals, at least those that are within my control. I am now trying to find another 100 meaningful goals in order to complete the worksheet in this book. I thought that would be a good mile marker for my 100th blog post (which I have now passed).

So far, I'm at a loss beyond the following items, and I'm not certain they are especially meaningful, but I guess as long as they are semi meaningful to me, they are meaningful enough:

1) Figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life;
2) So that I can go back to college (finance? something green? psychology?);
3) Learn formal dance (salsa, swing, shag, etc.);
4) Take an etiquette class (I could use a little polishing around the edges);
5) Learn to shoot (you better learn to duck);
6) Learn to boat (is that a problem for a non swimmer?);
7) Learn to prepare a really awesome pasta dish (got any recipe suggestions?);
8) Forgive all the ex-boyfriends (that's an ongoing process);
9) Finish my bedroom remodeling project.
10) Turn my postage stamp of a front yard into a shimmering green jewel box (going to meet with the "jeweler" at lunch).

I couldn't think past ten goals, let alone reach 100! Got any good ideas of your own that you could share with me?? I don't need any travel suggestions, I don't love to travel, but I make myself travel in order to expand my horizons.

Bugger on this process, I guess I will have to write one of those "100 things about me" blog posts to mark the occasion.
