Nanapug Great idea to have positive achievements to aim for. As my father died this year at the age of 93 I think my youngest daughter has just realised that I am getting older. Although only 68 and despite a hip replacement this year and a recent very painful Achilles tendon I am very active and always looking to do new things.
My daughter is anxious that I should not descend into just sitting (some hopes, given my grandchildminding commitments!) and is encouraging me to modernise and redecorate the bathroom and kitchen and has offered to help, so how can I refuse?
I also want to find an Art History Course, enrol for Tai Chi, spend lots of time volunteering at the Globe Theatre, go up in a hot air balloon, revisit Venice and New York, see the Northern Lights, travel the Silk Road and read Proust but I may not manage them all this coming year. In fact some of these things are on my things-to-do-before-I-die list. Does anyone else have one of these? I don't find it morbid to have this list, rather an encouragement to keep interested in life and keep looking forward. Oh! Just thought of another one - to learn more about physics! Thanks, Brian Cox!
