I think I am going to try to save toward buying a condo instead of a house. I plan to get a motor home when I retire anyway and I don’t really know if I need a huge house to settle down in. A two bedroom condo would be just fine just in case I plan on kids.

How I did it: This is an ongoing goal so I'll be doing it quite a bit. I just got in my car and drove into the mountains in Washingston state. Washington is a beautiful state from the parts I saw while I was up there. It's perfect for those with an active lifestyle. Plus, the environment is sooooo beautiful and one can really see what this Earth has to offer just by stepping outside, especially in Washington. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My sister and I drove from Seattle Washington to California on our way home to Oklahoma. We stopped in San Francisco, saw the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and a few other things. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A couple of my friends and I researched items we'd like to have tattoed on our bodies. I mean....they're pretty permanent although you can get them lasered off, but I digress...we found a few primaries and then a few secondary things we'd get tattoed just in case we were turned down on some things (which I was turned down on my primary tattoo idea because it was too time consuming for the tattoo artist). We looked online for local tattoo … Read how I did it…

I keep telling people I’ve been doing yoga off and on for almost 8 years. I would just like to be able to say I live yoga for my life….not off and on. I’m just finding excuses to not find time to be disciplined. But isn’t that typical of us humans sometimes, to take the easier way out instead of looking life and reality in the face and attacking our goals. I will get motivated. I will do this, for….myself.
I am normally a very patient and low stress kind of guy, until I get on the road and into traffic. Don’t get me wrong I am not an aggressive driver to the extent of riding people’s bumpers and flashing my headlights or following people home, but other drivers who do not follow the simply complex (lol) rules of the road get me a little heated. I tell people that the only time they’ll hear me curse is when I’m driving. I notice that I take a lot ore risk with driving in city traffic and I want to do this as one of my 43 things because I realized that I shouldn’t be taking that risk with other people’s lives let alone my own. I am reading a book, 865 Buddhist Ways to Conquer Life’s Little Challenges , and it has given me quite a bit of information to help tackle this task. It will take some time though because I’ve been in this bad habit for too long. Wish me luck.
