There's a very popular website out there at www.43things.com. I stumbled across it by accident one day and became totally hooked. The idea is to write a list of 43 things you want to do with your life. You then write entries on each item, and people can cheer you on or comment on what you've written, maybe even give you advice on how to achieve your goal.

Anyway on my list I have 41 things, I marked a few off, given up on a couple, and added more since I began. I'm not as hooked as I was in the beginning, but I still check in on time to time. Some of my goals are simple, easy to achieve, stuff that I know I have to do or should be doing and just haven't got around to yet. Other things are huge dreams, the kind of thing you can strive your whole life for and still not come close to achieving. That's the beauty of making a list; you can put everything out there and have something to aim for.

So then I saw this topic, and I thought I would try to decide on my 10 most important things. Not just dreams but things that I know I can do before my time is up. It actually wasn't that easy, from 41 to 10. In the end I narrowed it down to 8. So here goes my top 8 things I would like to do with my life.

1 To find the love of my life and be happy on my own until I do so.
This is a major goal for me. If you've read any of my other articles you know that I would like nothing more than to be settled down. To have someone at home waiting for me when I get home from work. Someone to share my life with, to be there for, no questions. As I'm getting older this is getting more and more important for me. Hence the second part of the goal, I need to be content on my own. If I spend my life looking around for Mr Right, then I can't be doing much living right now. I need to stop fretting about finding the man of my dreams, and then hopefully one day he'll find me.

2- Travel more
I love to travel and up to now I've not really done a lot of it. I've been all around the UK, Ireland, parts of Spain and France, and to New York, but there are so many other places I would love to see. New York has always been a dream destination of mine, and somewhere I'd love to go back to, but there are so many other places I'd love to explore. I'm a city lover, so just in the States alone I'd love to see Boston, San Francisco, LA and Philadelphia, as a movie lover I dream of visiting Hollywood and Las Vegas. Then there's Sidney, Toronto, Hong Kong, not to mention a little closer to home for me, I've always wanted
