Wow! Reading these lists just made me aware of all of the things I have accomplished so far. I was going to post a bunch of stuff that I haven’t done, but I feel so much better know with the sudden realization that I’m not as far behind as I thought. From the lists above: I am a certified diver I have interacted with whales in the open ocean (tagging) I have visited the arctic I have had threesomes I have been skydiving I have been in love I have played in a jazz band I have played several musical instruments I have (briefly) driven an exotic car I am published (short articles in minor periodicals) In my remaining years, I hope to: Eliminate my debt Own my own home Summit a few of the world’s tallest peaks Find love again Find balance in life - good health, financial security, and happiness through the ability to pursue my dreams. -FK ---
