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.
