Well I am trying another thing here to make me a little more upbeat. Yeah I just said that above.
I was thinking of a bucket list. Well what do we think of this. I am not gonna give myself a time based bucket list, but a list that I will hope get most of the stuff on done before I become too bad in order to do it. Well first of all I hope I don't get too bad at all, but that I am afraid is not gonna go over that well. I figure. If I keep up with the resolutions I have put in the last blog that I can stave it off as long as I can. Now with the bucket list I will look forward to the things I would love to be able to do. Make sense. Well I hope so because it is some way I think I can keep myself motivated. Motivation is not my strong suit.
Well where do I start now.
I am thinking a little bit of travel is in order. So places I would love to go.
So far I have been to the Bahamas. This was my 50th birthday present to myself. Since I wasn't gonna get anything from anyone in this family so decided I was gonna work on that for my birthday.
I did a real adventure and made it to Panama. I wasn't sure about that trip but it was an adventure for me who doesn't like to go off the beaten path. The place we stayed was great and the beach was right there to enjoy.
Second of all I made it this past summer to see Mount Rushmore. A monument I did want to see. Road down on the Harley as a biker chick. Enjoyed that trip as well. But my butt and legs had other stories to tell about that trip.
Other places I have been and would like to go back to is Las Vegas and Florida.
Well Florida will be on the agenda this spring. We are going down there as a drive. We will be taking a week and driving to Florida and then spending a week in a time share a friend has offered to let us use. Then spending a week driving home. Three weeks of holidays spent driving and then enjoying a week checking out Disney and marineland and maybe a drive down the keys. Or a check out of the glads to see alligators. Well I am not too interested in that but I would love to find dolphins some were around the area. Hope the driving just isn't too much for me. Well will have to see. Plane rides are another story for me and sitting very long.
Okay places I want to see before I end up not being able to.
Jamaica, Alaska, Australia, Hawaii yes defiantly Hawaii, and Scotland /England. To see the east coast again would be nice as well. Oh yeah a drive down the coast to California.
So now in this travel I want to take a couple of cruises. Yeah that would be nice. See some of the world from the balcony on a ship. Maybe a trip through the Panama Canal. I am thinking that. Cruise would be easy on my body. Have a place to go back to when you need to. Take in the sights at ports and enjoy the days just cruising away. This just sounds lovely.
Another cruise would be to Alaska. I was thinking last year that we would go up on the bike, but that fizzled out and we headed to the states instead. Hubby thought it would be getting a little cool for riding bike in end of August. So maybe this year we may head that way. It will be in the car or maybe we will rent a motor home to go. Will see what is on the agenda at the time. Maybe maybe not. Who knows.
Seeing sights around the states would be nice. Would like to see allot of the Grand Canyon.
Well that is travel I want to do.
Now things I would love to be able to do.
One thing is fly. I know sounds kinda silly. But this kind of flying I would like to do. You go to a wind tunnel, put on a suit and take off flying in this tunnel. I think that would be great. I have always thought flying would be great. When I was a kid I dreamed allot of being able to fly like a bird above the tree tops. Well this won't be above the tree tops, but will be up and down in a tunnel. How about flying over the falls of some kind on a zip line. I would scream my guts out but I think it would be fun. Also another way to fly is in an ultralight plane.. I almost did one once before but chickened out at last minute. Maybe I will do it yet. I don't want to jump out of a plane or anything like that. Or jump off a cliff and do a dive or float to the earth on a parachute or a kite. That I don't think is for me. But soaring above and not falling to the ground is something I did think about many times. Just have to get over being a chickenshit and give it a try.
Also again I would like to be able to swim with dolphins again. The last time was allot of fun and would love to be able to do it again.
So now thinking of being in the water I would love to be able to go down in a two person sub and seeing the sea life. I went down once in a motorized type of scooter. That was not something I think I would like to do again. It was too confining. A bubble over your head and I couldn't get the thing to move right. I also had trouble with my ears going down and couldn't do as much as anyone else.
A walk near a volcano and see the bubbling of the lava. That would be in Hawaii. I have a big interest in seeing Hawaii. Can you tell. Should I think about the fact I would like to body surf as well. Here is something else for Hawaii. Ha plus dolphins. Can you tell I like dolphins ALLOT.
I would love to be able to sing in a choir again. But I know that will never be in the cards. My voice has gone to scrap with this dry mouth and throat.. But to be able to sing again and raise my voice to the heavens again. That would make me smile soo big.
Gosh I haven't got much else in the way of ambition here do I.
Just getting this mortgage paid off and living a good long life as pain free as I can. Enjoying what time I have.
Well some bucket list I have. Travel to a few places, fly and swim with the dolphins.
I am not an ambitious person I guess. My interest lay in the fact that I like to do crafts of woodworking and knitting and scrap booking. Searching out family tree info.
If I was real ambitious I would like to walk the Great Wall of china, but that would be me going to china and I don't see myself doing that. Or let's see. How about going up the Eiffel Tower. But France is not someplace I was thinking of going, but I do think of going to Australia. What is with that. I would think of Germany as that is we're my ancestor come from but there is not a big ambition for it. I would like Scotland and England though. I'm not sure why I would not go but I feel it in my bones that it would not be a place I would go. Mexico might be a place like maybe cancun or maybe the grand cayman island. This all has to do with me seeing dolphins again. Yeah I know. I do have a liking for them.
I am just a home body. Not too ambitious and not much in the way of dreams. A little travel and a little crafty stuff. Being a home body most of the time. Enjoying my family and my pets. A little music. Get out once in while with friends and having as many laughs as I can. And all together just keeping myself going.
Okay bucket list are to be for when you are dieing but it for me is for getting to things before I can't anymore. Well I know where I stand. Can I do some of these things or am I just filling up a bucket of unfinished dreams? We will see.
