Anxious

• to be done writing papers each weekend


• to scrapbook my memories and thoughts, to document them on paper


• to have time to take more photographs


• to spend more time with my sons and husband


• to listen to music and truly appreciate it for the gift it is


• to read professional books and improve my craft of teaching


• to get moving and get healthy


• to practice random acts of kindness


• to sit in the warm sun and bask in the warmth of the moment


• to see my brothers again


• to hug my granddaughter and read to her


• to see my husband be able to relax and not work so hard on home improvements


• to organize the photos and documents found in my parents' home


• to spend more time with extended family


• to plant spring flowers


• to bake cookies for family and friends


• to read more books, fun ones and thought-provoking ones


• to learn to knit more challenging things


• to travel to places in the U.S. and beyond that I dream to see and explore


• to visit friends I haven't seen in a long time

Anxious to be done with some responsibilities and be more mindful of living my life the way I want to live it. Because as each day goes by, I realize that is one day less to live it how I want to.
