Today I read an interesting news, it was all about the woman who lost her beloved friend in a day, then she felt full of grief and struggled to live out her days. She thought of everything, of death which brought clarity to her life, helped her know more about herself and what mattered most to her life. Then she wondered if other persons thought the same like her, went through the same truggle to maintain perspective amid daily grind. With helps from her friends, she turned an abandoned house nearby in New Orleans into a huge chalkboard and offered every people who was passing by to write something there, filling blanks with their aspirations. Soon, the wall was covered by responses from a lot of people. They wrote about their wishes and hopes of well being, love, help, travel, family…Soon she received requests from enthusiasm persons from all over the world. She and her partners from TED (Ideas worth spreading) has helped them to build a wall in their communities. Up to now, more than 4000 walls was created in over 60 countries and in 25 languages.
After reading this news, I'm thinking about myself, what is the most important things in my life, what I really want to do before I die. Then here are some of them, not in special order.
Raise my good kids
Take care of my parents
Visit Europe
Learn Italian
Learn to play guitar
Be fluent in English
Write a book
Come to see my online best friend
Keep books my company till the end
Have a true friend for my whole life
And what about you? What do you want to do...

Nishan, your kind words always encourage me to go on, thanks so much.
Hi Nawa, we always have dreams about "many impossible things", some of them are just our fantasies forever, but others would be able turn into reality. Who knows? At least you can dream... LOL. As about who is older, both of us know it well, right?
Oh that's a good result (50/50), haha.
2. It's an awesome photo, that's actually a great moment, could you tell me more about this :) (How did you made it for example)
6. When I was a little girl, I used to come to visit my grand mother in the village and in summer night, all of kids were lying on the terrace to see stars glowing in the sky and count as many as possible till we felt asleep... It is very long long time ago, my grand mother passed away...
4. I wish to take my kids there one day, you are right, it's the dream land of all kids (and me too)

1. Well I like this pic very much. It's so emotional and inspirational to me. Maybe am I old enough? ;)
3. Hehe all kinds of car makes me sick, so I never dream of it.
2- It's an indescribable feeling. Time seems to be stopped. But you must be really in love.
6- I use to sleep some Summer nights on my house's terrace with no light nor any noise, then I think to myself how insignificant we are in universe and make me evade my problems.
