30 of 30!

Day 30 of 30 random things!

List 10 things you want to be remembered for.

1.  I want to be remembered not as a great wife, but as 1/2 of an awesome team.  I want Philip and I to be a couple that works through things together and that people like to be around.

2.  I want to be known as a kind person.  Someone who made people feel better when they're around me.

3.  Passionate.  Whether it's the 3 Day (which I do plan to walk in until there's a cure) or organ donation or women's health, or whatever, I want people to remember that I had beliefs and I didn't just sit around and talk about them, I did something.  An ex boyfriend once told me, "Well, that's just you, you're always for the cause."  I don't want to be remembered like that, as some angry feminist who is always talking about some issue.  I want to be known as a do-er.

4.  Healthy.  Trust me, I'm not on the right path for this one.  But I hope to keep walking regularly and eating well (enough) that I can always feel healthy enough to be active.

5.  A good friend.  Obviously, I hope I'm surrounded by family in my old age, but I also hope I continue the wonderful friendships I have so that they are my family as I grow older, too.

6.  Honest.  I want to be the mom who doesn't lie to her kids about sensitive subjects, I want to be honest with my husband, and my friends.  I want to people to know that when they talk to me, they get a straight answer.

7.  Strong. Not physically, but emotionally.  I want to be someone who can have something come up that makes life hard, and get through it just fine.

8.  Intelligent.  I don't want to be one of those older people who their grandkids make fun of because they haven't kept up with the times.  I want to still be sharp as I get older.

9.  As I become a nurse, I hope I'm remembered as a healthcare worker who was always interested in new ways of doing things.  The field changes practically every minute, and I don't want to get stuck in my own ways.  I want to be reading new techniques and taking classes and learning how to keep up.

10.  Confident.  I don't want to be known as someone who was always concerned about how they looked, or their weight, or what they were wearing.  I want to be someone who can eat a burger with their kids and not make a comment about their diet.  I know this seems silly, but I have spent the majority of my life being very self conscious and it's not fun.  So, I'm done.  And I want to continue my life just being me.

I did it!  All 30 days!  Hopefully I can continue writing on a regular basis, but at least I did this!
