Journaling my Life List has reminded me how extraordinarily blessed my life has been.
For example, #16--Visit All 50 States. I started the journal with a brief memory of each state I've visited. Turns out I have clear memories of all but three states. Unlikely though it is--having lived in Missouri and MN most of my life--I cannot recall visiting Oklahoma, North Dakota or Nebraska. This weekend I plan to knock Oklahoma off the list.
And #55--Visit All the Great Lodges. Turns out I've already hit eight of the 16. These grand old buildings and the stories of their creation are fascinating. I look forward to learning the other eight.
The journal leaves a map for my children to follow--through my life and their own. This--having a plan, taking risks, creating and honoring memories--this is how you make a life, my dear ones.
I leave you with a message from Teagan.

Peace, Baby! And love. To you both.
I love the lodges, too. If you want company for the ones close to me, just holler. :-)
Peace. Smiling here. How adorable!
Well, I've been to all three states, and I would suggest to you that if you visit one, you've seen all three.
Peace.
(HOW CUTE IS THAT BABY??)
I love your wisdom.

Love your list. Love that baby!
Smiling!
