Mei posted a new blog today. Im guilty of checking that thing on a very regular basis, it inspires me, it makes me wanna be better, it makes me think about life and living and I absolutely love it. Today, she talked about living with intention. Breathing in every moment, letting happiness soothe her soul, looking for things and surrounding herself with things that make her better, stopping, looking, seeing, finding ways to make herself soar, letting herself be who she is, letting sadness in, caring a lot but not about the things she cant change. LIVING in every moment. More often then not Mei puts my feelings into words that I could never create. Im so in need to live and be and feel every second lately. To breathe in the fresh Colorado air, and the different flavor of the California air, to go to the Ocean, to the Mountains, to surround myself with the people and ideas that make me better, to become more, to soar, to be so many things. I have a cheesy post it on my desk that says "Hold onto the sunshine, every moment of every day, cause those are the things that make you soar" Mei makes my heart soar, I read her blog and I feel my heart getting bigger and my braining growing more curious and a need to live and learn and be and understand and go and dream and grow crawling inside me, waiting to get out. Its an amazing feeling that only dramatizes everything I have been feeling lately. I WANT TO BE, I want to explore and adventure and learn and grow and do all these things. I wanna say it a million times cause the feeling is one like I have never known before, one that fills my thoughts minute after minute and makes every experience greater because I feel so alive and I only want everyday to feel more alive, to soak up all the amazing opportunities that life has to offer me. I hope I never loose that feeling, I hope that I always want to be more and grow more and see and feel and do. And I hope that I can act on that feeling, always and forever.
In slew of Mei's inspiration, of my feeling, and of one freaking awesome friend who makes me laugh harder then I can explain, and who's emotions I feel and who can read my thoughts and makes me better I started a bucket list. Hayley and Keely and I sat on the bed and talked about our dreams, compared notes, helped each other dream bigger. Making a bucket list is amazing, and as I told Scotty, who cheers and spreads his love and passion for life to me like none other, it opened a can of worms, and my thoughts started to go crazy, and my dreams will now even be bigger and greater. Some highlights from my bucket list.

It reminds me of that song "I wanna do it all, visit Paris in the fall, watch the Yankees play ball, I wanna take it all in" Thats like a bucket list in a song, so freaking cool. Man I just have so many thoughts and wants and bah, Im just excited for everyday of life, to learn about all the things I can do and be and feel all the ways I can be alive. I love it and am so lucky for so much life and so much love and so many dreams. Whats on your list?
