Today is Thursday, June 29, 2017 and it is the 42nd day until my 60th Birthday.
Well I have decided that perhaps so many lists is perhaps a “tad” overboard.
As with most folks over the age of 50, we continue to dream about the future, live for today and cherish all memories of days gone by.
Perhaps somedays our memories are more clear than the present but that is okay.
I intend to live to be 100.
My paternal Grandmother lived to be 97.
There are things to do and places to see during the next 40 years.
After all, I am only 6 six years into my “second” career ….. long way to go until “retirement.”
So perhaps a “Bucket List” to remind me of the things to do and places to see is likely a good idea.
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our everyday lives that we forget about those dreams.
Bucket List is the next thing to do.
I will take an empty notebook and make some notes.
It was an excellent exercise writing down all of the things that I have done thus far ….. the good and the bad, joyful and not.
Sometimes we do need to be reminded of a lifetime filled with happiness, sadness, joy, abundance and lack thereof, and all of that.
Our lives as human beings are far from what we determine as perfection.
So stop trying to be perfect and live your life.
Moment by moment and I do try.
Sometimes my patience runs a bit thin and other times my patience saves the day and there is all that in between.
So here we are …. another day closer to 60…… wow…..
Always, Carol
