I've accomplished some of these and I was a late starter, so you can too. After age 40; I had accomplished 1,3,4,5 & 7. I think that happiness is overrated so I'm no longer persuing that rainbow. I think Tom and John CAN be all wrong but I don't think all religions other than my own can be totally off track. I still seek 9 and missed my opportunity to skydive. Get-er-done!

Of course, I've always been one to start things late - like school. Started back in when I was 46. But I figure as long as I'm kicking, I can still do something constructive with my life. Besides, they say the way to stay healthy of mind is to keep your mind moving -- which is what I intend to do.

I'm doing it now--travel, trying to learn a little of a different language, doing some consulting, volunteering as a "Big Sister". I want to be 85 and look back on my life and be pretty satisfied, not regretful. P.S. London and Paris are awesome. We were in Italy this year and it was terrific. Have made it to 35 of the 50 states so far and we are trying to hit all of the Canadian Provinces. So much to see, so little time!

Your llist is wonderful - May I make one suggestion/ovservation. GIve up on #10. If you really do 1-9, you'll have to fail at #10. If your'e really living and trying new things, some of them won't work out and you will have regrets. Go for 1-9 and let #10 take care of itself. Hope some of your wishes come truie in '08.

I'll be satisfied if I can manage this: "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW-- What a Ride!" motorcycle racer Bill McKenna Posted: Dec 25, 07 8:12amThere are many things I'd like to do.

My problem is the old adage, "Wherever you go...there you are". Everytime I try to branch out in a new direction. I meet myself there. That person who gives up too easily or needs to go to bed before 9. I think happiness is internal. I think the Buddhist way is that the only way to be happy is to stop wanting. Will anything ever be enough? No. Be happy where you are. If you don't want anything then all of a sudden you have everything you need. | ADVERTISEMENT  |
