Much easier now that I only have one child left at home.<BR/><BR/>I jumped out of a plane last year and did a little traveling. That was fun.

How exciting!<BR/><BR/>I did my Mediterranean cruise this last year, and not just because it was a Bucket List thing, but because I had been hungering to do it almost as far back as I can remember. In fact, I did several things I have always wanted to do last year.<BR/><BR/>So now I have to start almost from scratch for my Bucket List. When you get, uhm, up there in years, overturning that bucket gets to looking like a distinct possibility, so the force to get it done becomes almost like a new freedom.<BR/><BR/>But I'm still a mom, grandmom, and wife. All major points in my identity. And I have to say, as much as I like doing things for myself, the wife/mom/gramma role pleases me greatly.<BR/><BR/>So the Bucket List isn't made out for this year. I'm determined to spend time with my more distant descendants, but other than that, if there are five days just for me, I imagine I'll be using them to write, which is very much my pleasure this year.Delle Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551688823035092802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-485179679546729342009-01-05T13:27:00.000-06:002009-01-05T13:27:00.000-06:00Mo - I've got to go look up the Acropolis now, bec...Mo - <BR/><BR/>I've got to go look up the Acropolis now, because that does sound impressive...and to even make the trip to Greece is huge. <BR/><BR/>By the way, when is your next Mossy Creek book coming out?Dianna Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436951352975780985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-26742502896955725772009-01-05T10:50:00.000-06:002009-01-05T10:50:00.000-06:00Dianna,When you put it in perspective, only 2% of ...Dianna,<BR/>When you put it in perspective, only 2% of our year being devoted to pursuits for ourselves, it doesn't seem all that daunting or selfish! <BR/>I had a similar wow moment to your Mount Rushmore experience. When I was in my early twenties, I went to Greece and saw the Acropolis, something I'd wanted to do since studying the ancient Greeks in 4th grade. <BR/>I guess I now have to come up with a list.Mo Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644902211036445323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-55563936184386870842009-01-05T10:45:00.000-06:002009-01-05T10:45:00.000-06:00Terry -Yes!!!

It really is easy to justify not taking a day for yourself when you're "so used to giving it up." <BR/><BR/>You make a great point - taking 5 days to do whatever you want this year doesn't mean a huge money investment so everyone should be able to do that. <BR/><BR/>thanks for coming out to visit with us.Dianna Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436951352975780985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-32898948490331344592009-01-05T10:16:00.000-06:002009-01-05T10:16:00.000-06:00What a nice idea.

Even though my kids have been out of the house for years, I think the 'burned toast/broken egg' syndrome, once established, is impossible to get rid of. Moms always put themselves last, taking the bits and pieces nobody wants.<BR/><BR/>Now -- to come up with five days of ME time. (And that won't cost much.) Thanks for the nudge.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.com
