Finally went and looked at the list. In other stages of my life I would have said something different, but, for now, I think I am doing pretty well regarding those 5 specific things. I have finally accepted myself as the eccentric odd-ball that I am, and that I don't need to have "x,y or z" to be happy

I am one of those who NEEDS at least a touch of real adventure/danger in her life - mountain biking fills that role for me. Certainly road riding does as well, but I feel more alive on my mountain bike even as such a beginner. This inner need for risk-taking has certainly caused problems over the years, but thankfully I've found healthier ways of filling that need than I once did.

I am not saying that I don't have regrets, nor that when the time comes that I won't have others or perhaps some of the things on that list will be back on it.
