My 2011 Bucket List has, thus far, been my most favorite list I have ever made. Throughout the year, the list reminded me of things I wanted to try and, as a result, I backpacked to Sykes Hot Springs and the Desolation Wilderness, went to the Legion of Honor, made awesome paella and failed mince meat pie, canoed with my family, went snowshoeing and took a tap dancing class. The spirit of trying new things lead me to ride my bike 27 miles, build a counter on my backporch, and meet up with friends more than staying in. In general, I definitely learned that saying yes is way more fun than saying no.
And so, I'm going to continue this idea, this mantra into 2012 and creating a "new things" list (apparently 'bucket list' is morbid to some). Here we go!
2012 New Things
- Visit Angel Island
- Make a frittata.
- Learn to crochet an afghan.
- Learn Prelude in C by Bach
- Go to a meditation session
- Go lazy inner tubing on a river
- Watch the Godfather

- Hike to the Tourist Club
- Backpack the Lost Coast

- Publish in a scientific journal
- Eat raw foods for a week
- Have an epic crafting party
- Take a paddleboat out on Stow Lake
- Visit the Pleasanton Ridge
- Partake in a fancy tea

Yes is more fun than No!
