My favourite chapter in this book was the one about goal-setting. I took the challenge to write a list of one hundred goals. I wrote the first forty in about five minutes. The rest of the list took more work...and integrity. I had to look closely at how I'm spending my time on the planet. I was surprised by what emerged. I want to see the Mona Lisa, be fluent in HTML, own a family canoe, and a dog, learn to drive a manual, give my children a stellar secondary education, write in my journal every week, float in the Dead Sea, live near the ocean, play the piano, land a small plane, know what's going on in the world, and eighty-eight other things. I've started today. I'll be getting the paper now. I'm going to bed at nine o'clock so I can get in some early morning yoga. And, I 've given myself until May first to become a practicing vegetarian. Wish me luck.
