    See my son grow up
    Sit on a front porch, old and grey still holding my husbands hand
    Hold and play with my future grandchildren
    Dance at my grandkids weddings
    Have an animal sanctuary for unadoptable dogs (some would say my house is that now... I disagree! lol)
    Build a COMPLETELY GREEN house
    To be able to look back at my life and know that I had LOVED as completely as I could, been LOVED back as much and had done everything in my power to make the world a better place.

    Shaving is so much harder, but I do it - less painful. But I'm sure not as...efficient.

    How ironic that I started this topic. Yesterday, a man on my course died following a car crash. I hope he managed to get through some of his list- I'm sure he did, given how much energy and enthusiam he threw into his academic life. Please, everyone, make the most of your life- don't put off your list. And please please, everyone, take care of yourselves :heart:

    First on my list- to be a nicer person, in both thought and deed.
    He was one of the first people I met on my course and yet we let the basic foundations of friendship fall. I was never mean to him, but I could have been kinder. I let the fact that he was so self assured irritate me, instead of inspire. I'm sure my ambivilance to the course irritated him too. We sort of drifted by each other and rarely acknowledged each other outside of classes. I'm just grateful that the last time we were in contact, I greeted him in a friendly way as we passed in the hallways. I vow to be more compassionate, to not let petty things about people irritate me and to employ more kindness, in the way I interact with people and the way I think of others.

    Young lady, how I wish I had your maturity when I was your age-- (or now, for that matter-- )

    This is a lovely post. May we all heed it. :flowerforyou:

    I like list as well - I tend to do a yearly list, since that gives me a very concrete time period. So this year the list is:

    1. Visit Death Valley (Done - 3/27-3/31)
    2. Climb Half Dome (scheduled for 6/15)
    3. Swim from Alcatraz Island to San Fran Pier (scheduled for 9/13 - already paid race fee)
    4. Run full marathon (scheduled for 12/09)

    Next year's list is starting to be compiled, and so far includes:

    - Backpacking trip (I've never been overnight backpacking)
    - Climb Mt. Whitney (need to apply for permits, and all that stuff)
    - Baja Mexico trip (complete with scuba diving, kyaking, etc.)
    - POSSIBLE trip to South Africa - not 100% yet

    The list is long for me but here goes
    1- learn to drive, hopefully I’ll start lessons at some point over the next year
    2- see the northern lights, something I’ve just always wanted to do
    3- Go to Italy, I have a love of architecture and all thing old so have dreamed of Venice and Rome since I was young
    4- Archery, never tried it but would love to do it
    5- use a potters wheel, no nothing to do with the film Ghost, just think it would be fun
    6- Create a beautiful garden, everything I touch turns to dead and I’ve just bought a load of plants to start my own piece of paradise so fingers crossed I learn how to help them survive
    7- Move to the country or the coast, haven’t decided which one yet, would already have done it if it wasn’t for my kids, don’t want to take them away from their friends
    8- Last but not least see my kids accomplish their dreams and become the decent humans I brought them up to be.

    Let every young adult I know that they are smart enough, wise enough, and kind enough to tackle whatever life dishes out.

    Let every mentor and friend know what a difference they made in my life.

    Plant a thousand trees and one oak.

    Volunteer my time to a charity that speaks to me.

    Shoot the breeze with a person who hasn’t talked to anyone that day.

    Uncover an injustice and make it better somehow.
