When one hits 50ish, you realize that you really don't have that much longer on earth. It's unsettling to know that most of your life has passed. At the very least, only 1/2 of your life has passed, but at most 2/3 of it has just gone.... Yes, I know, we don't know when the end will be here, but I'm going by averages: neither of my parents got out of their 70s, so I want to squeeze as much into this life as I can. So many things I want to see, taste, and try that there are times when I panic just a little thinking all I want to accomplish. Thing is, one's bucket list evolves as you get older. Some things become less important and others become a must. Right now, my list seems rather trivial especially for someone in her mid 50s, where is the depth that should be there? hhhmmmm, oh well, as I drink my flavored water (grape) and I ponder what I shall put on my list, I shrug.....maybe when I grow up, it will have more umph but for right now.....
