50 FtN 50

50 for the next 50 #50ftn50

I will turn 50 in August 2014. I had a plan for my 50th of going on another (yes I have been on one already) African Safari and heading into the impenetrable forrest in Ruwanda for a chance at seeing the Silverback Mountain Gorillas. That trip is still going to take place, but won’t be happening this year. So, now I needed a new plan to mark my 50th year.

This is where 50 for the next 50 comes into play, I am going to compile a list of 50 accomplishments, tasks, and goals I want to achieve before I head off to that great vacation spot in the sky. I highly doubt I am going to make to 100 years old, but 50 years gives me a little lee way in getting my list of 50 complete.

The list starts with my ideas and will also include input from others. Add it to the comments, send me a tweet, post it to Facebook or send me an email.

  1. African Safari – with the Siverback Mountain Gorillas
  2. Go camping as much as possible.
  3. Volunteer more.
  4. Meet as many new people (outside of work) as possible. Have as many of them as possible sign and date a journal of people met.
  5. Read more.
  6. Learn to paint. (oil, water-colour or other medium)
  7. Take photography courses.
  8. Post at least one picture a day for a year as a project.
  9. Plant a tree for my Mom.
  10. Learn how to meditate.
  11. Tell the woman I love that I love her as often as possible.
  12. Smile at people, just because.
  13. Visit every province and Territory in Canada during my life. (BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, QC, and NT done so far).

More to come, stay tuned.
