Balance

I first must thank Jenn for tagging me, otherwise, my little blog would have gone at least another week with only Survivor posts. The past few weeks have taught me about balance, especially taking the bitter with the sweet.

I had every intention not to fill this out, thinking these things are rather silly, as some of you might know from the email surveys I occasionally comment on. But, why not. Like I said, it's been a while.

8 things I'm passionate about:

1. Adventures - being bold, daring, and doing things I didn't think I could or thought I ever would
2. Natural resources - I want to be the best steward as I can and help others develop their own sense of stewardship
3. Prayer - is there anything more comforting knowing there is someone ALWAYS there you can share EVERYTHING with who doesn't complain but loves you all the more?
4. Sleep - I don't over-sleep, but I definitely don't under-sleep. Meals I can skip but I don't skimp when it comes to sleep
5. Reading - there is nothing more wonderful than finding a book that you can't put down but at the same time don't want to read because you don't want it to end
6. Puzzles - there's a post in the works on this, my self control is almost non-existent when faced with a puzzle
7. Musical theatre - Whether I'm in the cast, in the crew, or in the audience, there is nothing like live musicals. I'm constantly singing Broadway
8. People - I love people. I love meeting new people, I love hearing their stories, I love how the knowledge that they made the same choice I did that brought them to earth increases my love for them, even though I may not know them at all

8 words/phrases I use most often:

1. Holy Hannah!
2. Grand
3. I don't know
4. Come now
5. All is well
6. Thank you
7. Don't worry
8. You are a star

8 things I want to do before I die:

1. Hike the Grand Canyon
2. Be a cast member in "Guys and Dolls"
3. See the Rose Parade in California
4. See the aurora borealis in Alaska
5. Get my SCUBA certification and use it
6. Become a better cook and tap dancer
7. Publish a book
8. Visit Eccles, England

8 places I want to visit:

1. Eccles, England
2. Alaska
3. All 50 states
4. All 390 some units of the National Park Service
5. The top of the Washington Monument in DC
6. Torres Del Paine in Chile 7. Russia
8. Go back to Capri

And I'm not tagging anyone; I refuse to perpetuate this thing. However, if you're reading and feel so inclined to share trivial information about yourself, you're more than welcome to cut, paste, delete, and fill in.
