Terilee’s Tuesday

I am a very inconsitant blogger and would like to change that. Now I can’t promise anything but I am going to try. I have decided to start with a weekly post every Tuesday. I figure it is a good place to start, I would hope I could blog at least once a week:) Here’s to hoping that I will do it. It is going to be whatever I want it to be, it will have some of my personal life, my photo life, and random things that I just like in life. Here we go internet world.

Last night as I was editing some photos I came across a Documentary TV show on MTV called “The Buried Life”, all I can say is I wish I would of thought of this idea first. It is about these four friends who were tired of not really doing anything with their life so they decided to make a list of 100 things they want to do before they die, and actually do them. Now here is the part about this that I really like, for everything on their list they check off they will try and help a strange do something on their list. Ummmm how cool is that? Best way to do a bucket list ever!

I LOVE bucket lists. When I was 15 my best friend Vicki and I decided to make one of these. She actually still has hers, I unfortunatly lost mine. One thing I do know is that I have completed a lot of those things that my 15 year old self wanted to do in life. It is pretty cool looking back and knowing that I have fulfilled some of my dreams. Some of them I have had to reevalutate like ” owning a monkey” Now that I am a mature adult and realize that the chances of me owning a monkey are not very likely, and I am not sure I would really want to own one anymore, I will scratch that from the list. But hey I thought it was a cool idea when I was 15.

I have a new bucket list that I started a while ago and will eventually share it once it is complete ( I plan to relook at it and really take seriously what is on it) This of course will drive my husband crazy because he thinks most of my dreams are crazy, yet he still encourages me to follow them. I love you Ryan. I have decided there are no rules for my bucket list it is only there to encourage me to follow most of my dreams. Some of those dreams over time might change with life and I won’t want to fulfill them any more but some of them I have had forever and know I will try to fulfill them. My list I hope will also reflect my life in a way I want it to be reflected, to do things that I find very meaningful. But to also do things because, well heck, I just think it would be cool to do.

Back to the TV show ” the buried life” and on their giving back. How do you give back to people? My family does something that I have never acutally done but I think is kind of neat. Every once and a while when they go through the drive thru of Tim Horton’s, a coffee shop in Canada, they will pay for the persons bill behind them. This is something small that they do but I know that if someone did that to me it would totally make my day. Wouldn’t that just put a smile on your face at 6 in the morning, not much would put a smile on my face at 6am but I know that would. I love giving but find that I don’t do it as much as I should, I think these guys are onto something pretty cool. It is like the movie ” Pay it forward”.

Well those are my thoughts for Tuesday. Here is a picture of someone who I have been doing a project with and have learned a lot from. She knows how to give in all ways.
