• Ten Things lists

  From http://weblog.xanga.com/LifeNeedsProtection/658215927/item.html‘s site:
  Here are the ten things I want to do in my life:

  1. Find time to volunteer more.  One of the biggest things I would love to do is volunteer for Habitat for Humanity.  I have given money and materials to this project.  I want to swing a hammer or wield a drill.  Until now, my Saturdays have been pretty booked by work, family or whatever.  I would prefer to do this with my husband, but I will probably have to do this on my own.
  2. Have all my bills paid off. 
  3. See my son get married (and have children- Plural).
  4. Go on a medical mission trip.  I’d like to go somewhere and use my skills to help kids.
  5. Run a 5k race.
  6. I would like to go to Victoria Falls and swim in the little pool that is right on the edge of the falls.  I am afraid of heights and this would take a lot of intestinal fortitude.  I was thinking I could combine this with #4 as a side trip and it wouldn’t cost as much.
  7.  Retire with my husband. We are nowhere near ready- see #2.
  8.  Just start walking and take a journey.  It may last days or it just hours, but I would like to walk  on a journey.  There was a couple a few years ago, that walked all of the Buckeye Trail here in Ohio.  All 1445 miles of it.  I’m not that ambitious, but I would like to do a portion of it.
  9. Hike part of the Appalchian Trail.
  10. Go to Hickory, NC and research my Cherokee roots. I have to go there, because that is where my (biological) father was born and I would like to see the area.  My mother tells me it is beautiful.  I would like to find birth records and such for my grandparents.  This is part of my heritage.
