The Bucket List

    I suppose a few years ago, I have no illness that I know of but, I realized I was dying. I can't turn back time, my youth is gone. I have no hope of a paradise and living forever. I want to live forever, but I know that is impossible now. I honestly believe when we die we are gone.

    I spent years upon years denying myself, sacrificing things I wanted to do, as I thought I would have time in paradise.

    It was when I realized I was dying, I began to live.

    I hope everyone that is in the truth, thinking of fading away, is having turmoil from the truth, can resolve it quickly and begin to live.
    It feels great, my hope is that you can figure it out sooner in life than I did, time is precious. Maybe it's not the truth, maybe you are resolved in that area and it's something else.


    Do you have anything on your Bucket List you would want to share? or something you know that is keeping you from living that you want to resolve?

    Hey purps. I never got caught up in the live forever thing. Dieing is not something that's on my mind, when it happens it happens and whatever comes after that if anything I'll have to deal with when it comes.

    I live my life now and try to make every day count because there is no guarantee that I or anyone will be here tomorrow. When I do go, I hope it's quick I don't want to be in a hospital or have my kids changing my diapers, you know?

    Anyway the one thing I really want to do before I die is to spend a week on a Greek Island with my best friend.

    I hope so Snakes, 50 miles on my bike at 50...ug.

    My New Years Resolution is to start getting in shape and training to do it.
    I did lose 50 pounds this past year, so that was a start.

    Yes I want to win the lottery so I have enough money to stop working and more time to enjoy myself.

    And have time to make more music.

    Yeah, I have mine on my43things.com. But I cannot share them here or my supersecret superhero identity will be revealed.

    That site is interesting for comparing your own interests to others.
