TEN THINGS BY PAUL BARIBEAU

If you are feeling low, or even just a little slow, take a listen to this frenetic song. It's a great pick-me-up! Here are the lyrics. I heard it at the end of The Last Time You Had Fun.

Here are my ten things:

I wanna do - learn how to use twitter,  run ten km again, reno the bathrooms/kitchen, restyle, first tracks, swim outdoors when it's snowing, show someone special the best view of the city, finish novel, entertain at home, kayak, ride horse

places I wanna be - St. Petersburg, Cinque Terre, London, Ireland, Philadelphia, San Diego, Haida Gwai, Traversée de Charlesvoix, Dalmatia (Plitvice, Split), Melk Abbey

books - Is Everyone Hanging out without me and Why Not Me by Mindy Kaling, Unbroken by Hillebrand, The Art of Persuasion, Frankenstein, Huckleberry Finn, Alias Grace, East of Eden, The Adventures of Pinocchio,  The Time Machine

songs - Demons  and Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, Legendary Lovers, Firework, and Roar by Katy Perry, Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, Happy by Pharrell Williams, Hey Brother by Avicii, I Gotta Feeling by Black-eyed Peas, Just Dance by Lady Gaga, Party Rock by LMFAO

wrong with your life to fix - lack of self-acceptance, new friends, clothing/house style, fitness, teaching readiness, meals in advance, too much fat, laziness, confidence, judgement

things I love about my life - my daughter, friends, nature, art, beauty, a good story, travel, restaurants, walk to the water, laughter

things that hold me back - netflix, junk food, bad people, laziness, lack of schedule, idealism, not being ready, anger, disorganization, despondency

mistakes i made - blaming others, transference, confusing selfishness for self-acceptance, compromise, not staying fit, not doing what I love, losing confidence, conformity, lack of risk taking, accepting okay instead of choosing great

reasons why i don't want to die - my daughter friends, nature, art, beauty, restaurants, travel, love, hiking, writing, too much left to do

why its good to be alive - kindness, kids, nature, happiness, art, writing, beauty, a good story, animals, travel, food, love
