Life List

My goal today was to find an energetic spot for dinner with my beautiful cousin, who is in town for the weekend. Mission accomplished the moment our waitress opened her mouth we knew this should be fun. It was dessert however at a more savvy spot; lights dim, out of the ordinary art and just enough noise with a lazy cozy type service that lead to the question what would it be called if you did not make a bucket list, but planned the things to do to live. What would you name that list? Quick to respond, I say it would be participating in life instead of just living it, but that's not quite right. A mouthful, too many words. Whatever the name the question demands an answer what's on your to live list and how do you begin? I realize that there is so much more to life than a 9-5 and I'm not knocking it if that's what makes you thrive, but I need something more and I'm not sure if that comes with slowing down or speeding up. A couple friend attended the President's event at Tyler Perry's tonight and it makes me wonder how some live the fullest life while others only exist? And if you are stuck in mediocre is it possible to push for greater. What would it take to begin to live? I'm not completing this thought because I need a short time to process it myself, but I know for sure that with each next step I will only be moving to live!
