Tick the box

As I grow up, I seldom have some ambitious goals to achieve in my mind. When I was a kid, I always changed my dreams. Being a nurse or an art teacher in the future made me confused all day long. However, I seldom dream of those things now. I cannot remember the exact date since I started thinking something practical as an adult and nearly have some dreams. Still, I wish I could keep such fantastic things as children always do and hope ordinary life could be more splendid.

Last year, I realized one of my dreams, viewing cherry blossom in Japan. After I resigned from my job, I got a chance to view cherry blossoms with my friends in the blossom season in Japan. My best friend in college was working holiday in Japan at that time. I remember that Kumakawa was the first spot we came to view cherry blossoms together but the most interesting fact is that there was only one cherry tree in blossoms. We could not help giggling at the scene. To remember this moment, I just took a photo of her and that cherry tree. Fortunately, we viewed lots of cherry blossoms at last during my trip but we would not forget this memory.

Thus, to have more fabulous memories, sometimes when I think of some great ideas, I would write it down and remind myself trying hard to complete them and tick the checkboxes of my to-do list.
