My Bucket List

One of my favorite movies is The Bucket List, which stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.  The characters are dealing with life-threatening illnesses and decide to write a "bucket list."  This bucket list consists of items they want to do before they die. This movie made me think about the importance of making goals, especially if you have a chronic illness.  I know that I often do not think about the many things I want to do with my life because I am dwelling on my chronic illness.  I know this is not a healthy state of mind so I have decided to form my own bucket list! I encourage you to also make a bucket list and achieve your long-term goals.
My Bucket List:
1. Earn my Master's degree.
2. Earn my Ph.D.
3. Write a book.
4. Visit Disney World.
5. Visit Europe.
6. Learn a new language.
7. Read a new book every month.
8. Write in a journal everyday.

I hope to add more to this list soon :)  I hope you will join me in forming this important list!

Brand-New Blogger

I have wanted to start a blog for several months, but I just could not find the courage to do it.  I finally realized that it would be beneficial for me to have one because 1. ) It is a good way to live a positive life by writing my thoughts, concerns, etc. 2. ) It may connect me to others that are finding ways to live a positive life while living with a chronic illness 3. ) I can practice my writing skills!  If you read the "About Me" section, you now know that I am a wife, mother, and graduate student that also has Fibromyalgia.  For me to not go completely crazy, I have realized that a positive attitude is necessary.  It has not been easy, but a good attitude is important!

I plan to write as much as possible in my blog about my daily life experiences as a wife, mother, and student as well as how I am living with Fibromyalgia.  Also, I plan to give some insight on ways to keep a positive attitude.  I hope to make many friends on this journey :)
