Earlier this week I bumped into a friend of mine at the gym whom I hadn't seen in a while. We were catching up on the different things happening in our lives, when she told me she's thinking about going to Chile to teach English for five months. She said she's been wanting to step out of her comfort zone and really do something different. She said she feels like this is the only time she's going to be able to do something like this since she doesn't have a ton of commitments or obligations, which I agreed with. Then it made me think about all the things I've wanted from my life that have been on my bucket list:
I now realize that I've actually done a lot of the things on my bucket list. That's awesome. I hadn't actually thought about it in those terms. I feel so accomplished. Well, for now. This conversation is a healthy reminder that I need to keep adding things to this wonderful list!

- Own a dog - check
