I keep coming back to this. There are lots of things I'd love to do, but nothing that I feel I *must* do before I die. When I came out, I vowed to try to live as fully and authentically as possible every day. For now, I get a lot of pleasure enjoying doing things with my partner and my kids. I hope we are able to visit some places together. I love to see the world through their eyes. My partner, especially, hasn't been to many places, nor have I, really. I hope to have the money and time to visit places in the US and throughout the world. The pleasure isn't just in seeing the sights, but seeing them with others and enjoying their enjoyment. And, in the end, I just hope to know that I lived simply, honestly, and loved as much as I could. My ideal future has a picture, also, of sitting on the porch with the one I love, just savoring the sunset together. Is that corny? It doesn't mean I don't want adventure, but I don't seek adrenaline for its own sake.

not corny

In my 51 years I have learned that the greatest joys come from the most simple things.

I think what you want is beautiful. I want this more than anything... to spend each day with the one I love savoring all the moments in life.

:loveletter:

I'm going to be 50 this year, so I find myself getting all kinds of pensive and nostalgic. And a little bit nutty, too.

I always wanted a cowboy gourmet. southern cooking with a twist. most of my recipes are modified southern.

I love country cooking.

lol- I haven't figured the horse part out yet. I was thinking about taking lessons then letting them help me pick a horse then train me with that horse.

wow what a cool list. I want to learn spanish because I want to take trips to Panama and Costa Rica.

The tire swing and barefoot definitely down for. I hate shoes.

When I learn to ride I'll go with you to Ireland.

Get yourself an RV, park at on the farm and you can have as many herb gardens as you want. Of course Farmer J will put you to work! Better you than me! lol

I fully wish and intend to beat the ever loving hell out of my brother for abusing my mom.

It's on the list.

need help?

~Have tons of money to give away....that philanthropy thing appeals to me... (aka: make a difference)

(Thanks again for this thread! It's really, really neat!)

I am going to go with Daywalker and SuperFemme to Jack N The Box and eat 2 tacos for 99 cent....:heartbeat:

one thing--and then an other...
 

I'd like to stop saying "I'm sorry" Unless I really mean it (and I *should be saying it for a true transgression)...it's been a default statement for me for so many fucking years and I want. to. stop. it.!!
