As I sit here in the Denver International Airport watching the hustle and bustle of employees in bright yellow safety vest moving bags from cart to plane, as planes come taxing by my window, and the air tower gives the go ahead for the plane on the tarmac to take off I wonder if I can actually come up with seven wants. While a much brighter subject than the eight fears of the last challenge sometimes it can be hard to categorize what you actually "want" versus what is merely a desire. There are many things that I want, from new shoes to winning the lottery but when thinking of my wants I am realizing that what I actually want is more than just a new pair of shoes or nice dishes in the kitchen.
So here it is..... my seven wants:
1. I want to take my dad heli skiing. It is the one thing he has never done and has always wanted to. Growing up he never hesitated when I needed new skis, a trip somewhere to go racing, and every year (sometimes twice a year) he and I would watch the weather find out where it was snowing, pack up the car and take off to go ski the steep and deep. He has been my number one ski buddy since the day he put skis on my feet at the young age of two and since I can remember I always told him that when I made it big I would take him heli skiing.
2. Help my mom go back to school. My mother loves to learn and grow. She is constantly doing whatever she can to gain more knowledge and has ALWAYS wanted to go back to school.
3. Pay off my student loan. Graduating from Gonzaga University left me with a decent sized loan, while I am luckier than some it still is large enough that I can't really afford to pay it off.
4. Travel. There are so many amazing places out there. I would love to be able to easily visit them. To be able to participate in triathlons all over the world. These events are held in some of the most serene and beautiful places and it would be my joy to be able to participate.
5. Spend the rest of my life with the people that I love. Yes, this may seem silly and you are probably thinking well duh who doesn't want that. But there are some amazing people in my life, people that every day I look forward to seeing and talking to. Their presence has made my life better and I want more than anything to continue spending ever day with them.
6. Continue my education and growth through my career. I just recently started a new job that I love. It is challenging, I am constantly learning and growing with it and look forward to continuing to do so.
7. Keep improving my strength and times in my triathlons. I have put a lot of work into them and as I am still fairly new to the sport I want to continue improving. Maybe stand on the podium with a 1st place in my hand. Oh and also I want to complete an Ironman before I am thirty/before I have kids. :)
What are some things that you want?? What are some goals that you have???
