I'm going to get a bit "soft" but list style to keep the edges crisp.
1. Fall in love without thinking about it; when it doesn't work out, celebrate the expansion of your heart and the experiences you had.
2. Not every past relationship was unsuccessful; it was just meant to be successful for a moment, not a lifetime.
3. Skip a day of work/school and play at the park.
4. Don't be afraid to blurt out what you're thinking
5. Allow yourself to be kissed breathless.
6. Dance on a bar, ride the mechanical bull, jump out of a plane; fear is just waiting to become an adrenaline rush
7. Eat doughnuts, ice cream, Nutty Bars only every once in a while; they taste better when they are a treat
8. Hand write a letter to someone, everyone, you think of . . . . on a random Tuesday, for no reason.
9. Slip the server an extra $10 as a thank you for helping you avoid Wal-mart, the kitchen and dishes. Shoot, an extra $20 for avoiding Walmart alone
10. Get on stage and tell a joke, sing a song, grab a guitar. You may bomb . . . . but then again, you may not.
11. Go to McDonald's or a coffee shop early in the morning and listen to the older generation; their past experiences becomes today's wisdom.
12. Rip up the box you've been living in and break some rules.
13. Spend 24 hours NOT apologizing for anything.
14. Learn to spend time alone
15. Don't take everything personally
16. Lie under a tree and find the dinosaur, rocket, bunny in the clouds.
17. Run away from a weekend, jump on a Harley, fly to Vegas.
18. Have a conversation with someone you never would and just listen. You may learn something new about the world or yourself
19. Throw away those jeans, tucked way back in the closet, that ONE day you are going to fit into; or sign up for a race and get back into them
20. Laugh so hard that you cry or snort. It feels AMAZING!
21. Tell every person you love how much you love them. No matter how: a letter, in person, phone call, text, email, IM, facebook status update. JUST DO IT.
22. Throw away the self help books and JUST be yourself.
23. Grab your Ipod, go outside, after everyone is asleep and DANCE.
24. Go to a concert of a band you've never heard of
25. Have a swinging contest with your kids (or nieces/nephews, grandkids, neighbor kids)
26. Listen to your intuition. Walk away if necessary or run like hell after someone.
27. Get in a fight just for the make up sex
28. Leave someone a love note in their briefcase, wallet, purse, lunch box
29. Send flowers to your kids at school for no reason
30. Fold the laundry, sweep the floor, do the dishes later and go have lunch with your best friend.
What's YOUR list?
