What is your idea of living a good life?

This is a question that since i have started this blog have been asking myself. What would be my idea of living a good life? I think about the things i love to do, and the people that i love to be around. I have made a small list (i am into list) of things i love, and ranked them starting with the most important...

1. I Love being in meaningful deep relationships, and fellowship with others.
2. I love spending time in the outdoors. Most days there is not other place i rather be.
3. I love working with my hands, hard physical labor.
4. I love going to places, or doing things that know one else has done.

Those are the top 4 things i love. So what does that say about my idea of living a good life? Right now i spend an average of 6-10 hours a week outside. I spend the rest of my time at a desk, alone. So already i am deeply lacking numbers one, two, and three. The ten hours i spend outside are spent with others, helping develop our relationships and join in good fun. But i still am spending 0 hours on number 4.

Some of this will change this summer. A canoe trip down the Mississippi River for 5 days (which will be blogged about later) and then a climbing trip to KY for 4 days (which will also be blogged about later). Both these events will fill 1-4 which is great, cause i can't think about much else right now!

So i think its safe to say that currently working towards a life i want, is this okay? I am okay with what i am doing now, i just wonder if the life i want, the life i am looking for, the life i am striving for, can't be reached faster.
