I’ve been reading Maggie Mason for years and have found myself particularly inspired by her Mighty Life List. For years I have wanted to create my own, but it hasn’t been easy. I’m so not a big picture thinker. I’m reactionary, malleable, adaptable, a go-with-the-flow kinda gal, if you will… all about the journey, not so much the destination, and all those clichés. It’s hard to envision the things I want to accomplish in life when I am so enthralled with uncovering those mysteries that present themselves to me daily.
Sure, there are always those things that, when I hear about them, I think, “Wow, that would be cool… ” But, with few exceptions, I forget about them almost as soon as I hear them. I’ve become so fascinated with collecting a Mighty Life List that’s it’s hard to envision stopping long enough to actually plan one.
