The Question

If there was nothing stopping you, what would you choose to do?

This question was posted on Facebook by my daughter and it has resonated with me. I guess in light of all my thinking about the future, it makes sense that something like this would roll around for a bit inside of my head.

It is really hard for me to answer because I have such a hard time looking past money and to be completely honest, fear. A few years ago one of my greatest desire was to parachute out of a plane but not now. I am thinking about much more age appropriate things these days.

If nothing was stopping me...

Travel: Australia, more Europe (Spain, Greece, more of France, Italy again, Switzerland/Austria), see the fall colors in the northeast, tour a few antebellum plantations (don't ask me why), Montana (can't explain that one either)

Ride in a hot air balloon - I've been waiting for that one since my 40th birthday

Fly in a glider or maybe an airship instead

Go white water rafting - on the mild side

Ride my bike more

Get better at sewing

Read more

Go to more movies

Create more opportunities to celebrate our family

Find ways to hang out with my siblings and my sister-in-law

Become a wonderful mixture of my own two grandmas for Callie and any other grandbabies that come my way. I want to bake and garden with them and create all sorts of wonderful memories that can only be described by them as "I just love being at my Grandma's."

I've always wanted to go rafting too! We should plan it for a camping trip :)

And if you need some tricks with sewing I may be able to help, but I don't know, maybe you're better than I am lol

We could start doing a Stitch n Bitch and get Maria involved too if she wants.
