wish list for life

learn to crochet

write a novel

publish a book of poetry

travel to every state in the U.S.

travel abroad (top of my list are Italy, England, Greece, and Africa)

plant a vegetable garden and eat my very own fresh veggies

meet many of my blogging friends in real life

enjoy exercising (this is quite a stretch for me…no pun intended)

take a cooking class

see the 7 Natural Wonders of the World

get married (and do it right this time)

read all the diaries/journals of Anais Nin

organize a charity event to help orphaned/fostered children

go apple picking in an orchard

cut down my own Christmas tree from an actual tree farm

learn to develop film (which leads to…)

decorate my house with personal photography of meaningful people, places, things (preferably in black and white)

have a part-time job writing a column for a newspaper or magazine

go ice skating at Christmas time in New York City

visit a concentration camp (I know it sounds morbid)

watch my niece grow into a beautiful woman

host an exchange student

go snorkeling (again, a scary prospect)

** Only the beginning…so much more to add as life continues.**
