I haven't really thought about this too much before (being more of a "take it as it comes" type of person), but there's definitely a few things I'd like to experience before leaving this earth. Most are related to travel because I just can't get enough of that. I feel so fortunate that I've been able to visit every Province in my country (with the exception of the Territories) and every State in the United States (other than Alaska and Hawaii) so I'd like to see those, for sure! Again, I'm lucky to have travelled most of Europe (including Russia, finally!!) and Australia, but still have to get to the far east (hmm...the World Figure Skating Championships are in Japan in 2007...)
Here's some others:
- get to "goal" and learn how to stay there (hopefully I'll accomplish this WELL before I kick the bucket!)
- be a grandmother (I guess that's really up to my daughter)
- fly in a helicopter
- attend the opening ceremonies of an Olympic Games (I'm shooting for Vancouver 2010!)
- make a full and complete genealogical history of my (and G's) family (who knows, I may be descended from
)
- go on another archaeological dig (last time was in the mid 1980s)
- meet my Guatemalan foster child
:
- write a screenplay
(and be nominated for an academy award?
)
- learn to be more tolerant of the political beliefs of others (meaning to at least try to understand where those who have dissenting views from mine are coming from and not get frustrated because I can't sway them over to my side)
- celebrate a silver 25th wedding anniversary (I guess G and I had better get married soon or we'll be too old to celebrate much of anything!)
