Life Goals

Since I'm putting my thoughts down, I was reading this article and thinking about what I want out of the rest of my life. Nick has a shared document with me called 'Nick's Life Goals' and man if they aren't ambitious. But here are my, less ambitious, but just as important, goals:

  • Maintain a body that lets me be active and flexible into my 90s.
    • Run Bay to Breakers in 1hr 30 minutes or less (12 minute mile)
    • Bike 60 miles at a stretch
    • Increase muscle mass to 60-70%
  • Maintain a community of friends that is engaged with us and our son.
  • Raise our son to be emotionally secure, loving, courageous, and generous.
  • Have a garden and grow vegetables, fennel, greens, herbs that we can eat.
  • Read a book a week (on average).
  • Find a community beehive, share in a community chicken coop.
  • Try to semi-retire at 50 (Nick to compose, Catharine to do consulting or small business.)
  • Teach Nick to nap.
  • Experiment with photography and canning.

Can you teach someone to nap? Heck, can one learn to nap? I feel like people are either good at it, or only do it when they're tired enough...

I like your goals. They make me think of a rich life.
