A Revision To My 30 Things in My 30's List

Well, I thought it was time to check in on my 30 Things to Do During My 30's List.  It's been in the back of my mind lately... especially since I left my job and I'm looking to spend more time on personal endeavors going forward.

You may recall that I decided to make this list after discovering that a lot of people make 30 things to do before turning 30 lists.  I heard about it shortly before my 30th birthday and it didn't leave me much time to make a list, much less to complete it!  You know how much I love a good bucket list.  This concept intrigued me and it seemed like a great idea to make a longer term bucket list of sorts, so I made one.

I kicked off my 30th year with a Rapunzel and Tangled themed birthday party.  Instead of looking at turning 30 with dread like most people do, I chose to look at it as the next big adventure.  I've always identified with Rapunzel's sense of wonder and how she always has a dream.  Therefore, I created a list that captures that philosophy and spirit.

However, recently I've decided to make a few changes to my list.  Upon reflecting and checking in to see where I'm at, I realized that a few things that were so important to me a few years ago, just aren't important to me anymore.  I flip flopped between keeping them and stubbornly trying to attempt them anyways, but after this past week, I've decided that I'm going to change them to reflect my current desires.  

Originally, this list was mostly comprised of Disney-centric goals.  So now, I'm updating the list to include a few things outside of Disney.  Passions and goals can change.  At this point in my life, I have absolutely no desire to do a half marathon, nor is it healthy for me to do so with my knee problems.  This has been the case since the get-go and I'm finally at the point where I'm accepting it.  Three of my original goals were based off of completing a half marathon, so instead of forfeiting those goals, I've decided to replace them with things I'm more passionate about now.  The last goal I'm replacing is one that's always on my annual goal list, so it seemed silly to leave it here.  (It was probably just a filler at that point in time anyways... so it's gonna leave this list too!)

So here's my updated list.  The deleted goals are in red and the new ones in blue.  I've crossed the original goals out and replaced them with the goals now taking their place.
