What do you want to do before you die?
Yeah, I'm addicted to this MTV show, 'The Buried Life'. Can't get enough of these 4 young men working on crossing things off their bucket list. It makes me want to formalize my own. Sure, we all have things we want to do but how many of us actually write them down and cross them off?
Here goes. It's a work in progress, so bear with me.
~Cruise the Greek Isles
~Visit Poland and the hometown of my grandparents
~Visit Sicily with my mother and visit the hometown of my other grandparents
~Hold a koala bear
~Swim with dolphins
~See Klimt's 'The Kiss' in person
~Own and drive an old school, dark green Jaguar
~Own a cottage at the beach, any beach
~Live in an ecologically friendly log home
~Have an outside shower at my home
~Snorkel in Belize
~See Tahiti
~Take my daughter to the Bob Marley museum in Jamaica
~Fantasy Fest
~Have lunch with James Delaney Buffett
~See Pink in concert
~See Natalie Merchant in concert
~See Bruce Springsteen in concert
So, there's only a few extravagances on this list and there's probably more I'll add at some point. I think there's an importance to writing it down. In Yoga it's called sankalpa; planting a seed of intention. Where attention goes, energy flows. Then maybe the seed will grow...
So, what do you want to do before you die?
Boy, you really got me thinking on this one. When my sisters and I were younger, we had talked about traveling the US in a RV. That still sounds like fun. My husband and I would like to take a cruise to Alaska for our 20th anniversary. My health issues have put me a different place though. I feel much more content in my life, much more settled then ever before. The brushes with death in the last 2 years, have left me feeling so much more grateful for what I have. A wonderul husband, 3,funny 4 leggers, great sisters and neice and nephews.
