I love this topic.
Sky dive
Scuba dive
Swim with dolphins
Pet an elephant--not in captivity
Hold a koala bear
Visit Ireland, Egypt and Israel
Visit as many secluded beaches as possible
Write a book
Open a thrift store to support abused and homeless animals with a percentage to go to homeless teens shelters and education
See my two all-time best friends at least one more time (haven't seen one in nearly 10 years and another in over 32)
And last but definitely not least--see my children happy and successful (might be redundant b'c success to me is happiness--and vice versa)

Hey I've had a poem published--in 1982 I think it was. I haven't tried since. |
