Raise the Bar

I have a tendency to aim low, without realizing it. Kids are always asked "what do you want to be when you grow up". Do you know what I wanted to be? A secretary or else someone who works in a mail room. Well, I've done both of those things so I've lived the dream. And my bucket list? I had one thing on there, to cook something using butternut squash. I did that a couple of weeks ago. Essentially, I'm done in life if we look at those things.

So I've decided I need to create a better list of goals and aspirations. Here is what I have so far.

Cat's Bucket List

• Run a half marathon
• Earn at least $55K a year (never want to aim too high)
• Write a book
• Fly First Class at least once
• Own a decent car
• Attend a pro football game
• Attend an OSU football game
• Return to England
• Travel through Ireland and Scotland
• Repay my friends 

Even that is pretty pathetic, isn't it? But those are things I want to do, things I want to accomplish. I'll probably never aim big, not because I doubt myself or have low self-esteem, but because, for all my nonsense, I'm fairly pragmatic. But it is a start.
