The phraze "the bucket list"

has gotten to be a favorite thing to talk about among many people..........

the things we want to do............the dreams we want to make come true..........

the goals we want to accomplish................

before we "hit the bucket"

 

I, however, have just a different outlook on the things I want to do, the dreams I want to make into a reality, and the goals I want to reach..................not in an urgent manner before I die............

 

but things I want to do and accomplish by the time I reach 100.

Yes, I plan to live to be 100..............

I already decided on it.......

I have so  many things  I want to try............and so many dreams and ideas..........

that I won't get finished with them all until my 100th birthday rolls around!

 

I always wanted to marry the most wonderful man in the world..............

check............did that

(that is why it is hard to find him out in the world, he's with me)

I wanted to become a mother and be blessed with sweet babies............

check...........did that

(the sweetest time in my life!)

I wanted many friends..............

check......did that

( I have been so blessed)

I wanted to write a book.............

check.........did that.............

(it's not published yet.........but it's a book!!)

I want to learn as many things as I can..........

check..........did that

(still doing that)

 

And there is so much more...........

my latest thing I want to be able to learn?.............

knitting!!

On my shelf is a small group of knitting books...........some very old, some very new that I have picked up along the way.

In my sewing box is an array of different sized knitting needles that has been given to me as "cast offs and unwanteds.

I have glanced at them through out the years..........always grabbing my embroidery floss and needles..........or my crochet hooks and charts..............walking past them..........

always thinking.........someday, I will make myself learn.............

This past week...........that's exactly what I have been doing.

I have settled on one book, which is very good in detail and instructions to stitch and pattern. I am going very slow and working through each step and lesson.

My goal.............before I reach the ripe old age of 100?

I want to knit a sweater!

Even if it is only one sweater..........with a lopsided neck and one sleeve longer than the other............

I am determined to knit one!

So...............

how about you?

Do you think about a bucket list.............or something accomplished before you reach a certain age?
What is your wildest thing you would love to do?...........the sky's the limit..........

I would love to hear!
