Did I settle? At times I think so. I settled when there was better out there. Settled for what, you ask? Settled for a life that isn't really all that fun or active. And by active I mean experiencing different experiences, going different places, or going no place but meeting and enjoying people who challenge me intellectually and physically. Is it too much to say I want more out of my life? I expect more?
Here I am, just turned 49 years young and I want more out of my life. So, for the first time in my life, I am making a bucket list. And somehow, through the grace of God, I intend to accomplish all of these before I die. Here we go (not necessarily in order):
- Travel Great Britain
- London, Bath, Dublin, Edinburgh
- Visit the Louvre in Paris, France
- Visit to the Smithsonian
- National History Museum
- Freer Gallery of Art
- American Indian Museum
- Visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City
- See a Broadway show in New York City
- Visit Alaska
- Move to the Dallas Metroplex
- Write and publish a book (fiction)
- Have at least one article published in a national magazine
- Meet the following folks in person and have a one-on-one personal conversation (not to be published, shared, etc. Just for me).
- Kristen Stewart (actress)
- Antonio Banderas (actor)
- Barack Obama (current president)
- Samantha Ronson (DJ)
- Elizabeth George (Inspector Lynley author)
- Charles Swindoll (pastor)
