Six-Inch Honeymoon

 


I’m currently working on a reverse bucket list – a record of things already accomplished. To create one is to look back over your life and catalog events that mean the most to you; that make you who you are. Mine’s by no means complete, but it looks something like this:

Fell in hopelessly in love with a guy who really annoys me. We’ve been annoying each other more than 45 years now. I’m up for at least another 45.

Conceived, carried and gave birth to four wonderful people. It’s been my daily privilege to watch them as they grow.

Seen some 23 thousand sunrises and sunsets – some in Alaska and some in Florida. Some were in Europe, and some at sea with no land in sight.

Lived in eight homes I called my own. Swept their floors, cooked in their kitchens, and slept in their beds. Loved them all, and I’m ready to start loving number nine.
