My dad and I talked the other day and we spoke about things that really matter. Of course there is family, and health, etc. But we also talked about what matters to the individual. My advice to my dad, as he looses his 28 year marriage, is to find out what he’s always wanted to do, and do it. Simple as that. I also want to compile a similar list, of twenty things I want to do at lease once in my life. As far as my dad goes, I think he’ll planning a fishing trip to Alaska.
Fall in love, deeply and truly (I’ve done that!)
Swim in the ocean at night
Take a road trip through Canada
Ride an elephant in a jungle
Volunteer for orphaned children
Visit at least one national park in each state
Go sailing in the Mediterranean
Learn to grow peonies
Spend a whole day in bed
Raise a child
Travel to at least six of the seven continents
Skinny dip! (I’ve done that too)
Splurge by spending a day at a spa
Eat pizza in Italy from a street vendor
Share my love for toys with a child
Own a old home, and fix it up
Run in an official race
Build a tree fort with a rope ladder and trap door
Climb to the top of a very tall mountain (I’ve done this one)
