I recently celebrated a birthday. Not one of THOSE
birthdays. I am over 50, which I’m proud to have celebrated. You see, when I
was much, much younger, it was recommended I have a lump biopsy. Thus began my
“benign” dance with life. Even though I have never had a diagnosis of cancer, a
biopsy is still surgery. It can throw a wrench in your schedule! And bring your
dreams and hopes and aspirations into sharp focus: “someday” becomes “next
year” and “after I finish” becomes “whenever I can”. I’ve been very lucky. I
finished school, got married, raised 2 children, worked in several career
fields, and generally enjoyed life.
So, what’s in the bucket list? I emptied that a long, long
time ago! I decided a bucket list is for those who have not been focused in
their goals. I’ve been very happy with my goals, adjusted them often, and
accomplished what was really important. I think. Well, I did lose that folder
of papers last month. Perhaps I should find it today. I think it was under that
stack……….wait a minute…..is this important?? Well, yes….sigh!
