2011's October

It is a chilly October night, and I find myself placed comfortably on, what has officially been deemed as, “the big poofy sofa”. The lighting is dim and the atmosphere is full of anticipation. The weather will soon be requiring us to wear wool overcoats and scarves. The holidays are almost upon us, despite the fact that, it seems like I was just in DC opening my Christmas gifts, drinking hot cocoa, and going snow sledding.

I never realized how quickly one year can soar by until 2011.

With this thought in mind, I quickly thought of my “bucket list”. My wish-list of things to do, accomplish, and experience. Somehow, I have managed to check many of these “wishes” off the list in a very short amount of time.

Life has taken me on one adventure to the next, and continues to do so with each passing day. At times, it seems as though things simply fall into my lap and lead me down new and uncharted territories, with ease. I use these adventures as wisely as possible, and collect the almost surreal memories made along the way.

As the brisk night air tickles my toes, I smile with anticipation, once more. There are so many things I still wish to experience.

As a rule, I try make it a point to write down 10 things I am blessed with, each morning. So why not write down 10 things I wish to accomplish?

Or maybe I will just skip that whole "list" thing. Only time will tell, and tell it, she will.

I will keep you posted. ;-)


TO BE CONTINUED.
