Reflections: The top 10 things you want to do in your life

by Lynsey Brewer

Created on: October 21, 2008

1) Travel

I have always had this burning desire to see the entire world, good, bad and ugly. I especially have a fascination with Whales and Scotland, just because my distant relatives are from those parts of the world. Currently, I am sad to say that I am not a very well traveled person. The farthest I have ever been from my home state(Montana) is Lima, Peru. That trip suceeded in making me want to travel more.

2) Sing

I have always loved music. I tried multiple instruments growing up and found that was NEVER going to work out. Besides, its harder to sing as you play an instrument at the same time. I sing everywhere I go and jazz choir was always my highlight of school. I have been told that I have talent and well...I realy dont care who hears me as long as nobody complains. I am content wven if my only audience is my diary does during milking chores.

3)Write a Book

I think this is a big one on alot of peoples' lists. Especially those assocaited with Helium. Some people write about romance, murder or political veiws. I write about me. Being the oldest of six children has not always been easy but very entertaining. I love to relate stories about our wild adventures when the parents werent home or the horendous pranks we used to play on each other.

4) Raise My Goats

There is something extremely therapeutic about milking chores. When I walk out of the house, my milking pail swinging in my right hand I am greeted with the sound of excited bleats as they rush to the fence as if to say "feed me" or "releive me"! Its nice to have other living beings so dependant on you and so excited to see you. They are often more constant than I am.

5) Teach My 4-Hers

I am currently in the process of starting my own 4-H club. It is primarily a dairy goat club, but my members are welcome to add other categories as long as they are able to provide leaders for them. As a kid growing up, my 4-H club worked wonders for me and my only wish in founding this one is that I pass on some of my gifts and help these young people grow to to happy and well rounded individuals.

6)Raise My Horses

I love my horses. From my half-arabs to big bulky drafts, there is something magical about all of them. My favorite time to visit with my mares is in the dead of the night, when the only sound is the barks of the distant coyotes. I go stand out in the middle of the pasture(the grass is up to my waist in some places) with my bucket of grooming tools and call their names. They are faithful and come running as fast as their little fat bodies and the weather will permit. I cant see them till they are apon me but the sound of thier hooves in the tall grass is both mysterious and exciting all at the same time.

7) Help as many children as possible

I am currently in college to become a child psychologist. I have had so many hardships and disapiontments that I understand these children. I want to provide the help and support that I missed out on as a hurting child myself.

8) Help my mom

My mom has been a single mom of six kids for about ten years now. She has done so much for me that I cannot imagine where I would be without her. I want to be someone that she can lean on in the future or depend on if she ever needs help. I am tired to being able to do nothing but stand by and hope for the best.

9) Find the Perfect Guy

Lets see...Farmers tan, likes kids, love Jesus, can ride a horse, plays the piano, adventourous...I could keep going...

10) Make God Proud

Of all the things I listed, this is the most important. If God has a plan for my life, I must do my best to fuffil it. Nothing I do makes any sense or will make me content unless I know without a doubt that Jesus is smiling down on me fro above.
