Someday List #1

Whether it's a written list or a mental file in their memory, many people have what is commonly referred to as a "bucket list." I call mine the "someday list." That long list of things I want to do and see and try and become. Things I want to accomplish and experience. My list is long and eclectic and a little bit quirky (oddly, just like it's author) and encompasses the many different facets of my personality.

1. Someday I will go to Space Camp


2. Someday I will have a garden and bottle tomatoes and make jam


3. Someday I will travel Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City (I almost typed Saigon)


4. Someday I will take a class on basic graphic design for personal use


5. Someday I will extensively travel the Pacific Northwest


6. Someday I will send my parents on an Alaskan cruise


7. Someday I will actually spend the afternoon in my Word Room/studio and create "stuff"

Whew...that's a lot of "somedays." And get it is really just the tip of the iceberg. The way I look at it, life is both short and long. Goals and dreams help motivate us and give us something to look forward to when things get rocky and rough. After all, hope is essential to the human spirit. All things hinge on hope.
