On Sunday, I spent some time journaling and perusing a summer edition of Real Simple. In it, there was a feature on readers' responses to the "top three things" they'd like to accomplish in their lifetime. Already in an inspired mood, I started jotting down the list I've been running in my head for a long time. And then I realized there were far too many things on the list and that three, was in fact, a qualifying number.
Then, last night, in the middle of FPU class, I slipped Cliff my tiny yellow legal pad I use to doodle/dream/plan on in settings such as those, with a query as to what his top three life goals would be. It was important for me to know that he didn't know what mine were, so I told him after he thoughtfully jotted down his answers.
So, after much (of my own personal) debate, here's our lists:
Kristine
1. Grow in a lifetime marriage of adventure and laughter, while raising children who are happily whole, who love the Lord, and who are equipped to (and who believe they can) change the world.
2. Write and publish a good book that inspires and encourages normal people to dream big, take leaps, and enjoy the journey.
3. Spend time in all 50 states of this beautiful, free country I call home.
Cliff
1. Have a happy, healthy family that is spiritually and financially well-rounded and stronger than the previous generation.
2. Be a part of a cause that makes a difference in my community and the world.
3. Be a wise man who can feed into others' lives and who is a leader.
What are yours?
