Yesterday I received a blog, that got me thinking and writing. What do I want? What do I pie in the sky off the top of my head uncensored want? What do I want without being limited by reality or possibilities? This isn't a bucket list. It's not about doing amazing things or going to exotic places. Some things aren't even possible. Oh, I guess I could train and train and run a marathon, but I don't think I want it that much. I just want to want it. And I probably won't wake up speaking Spanish fluently, but I sure want it. What would be on your list?
I want to blow joy bubbles.
I want to wake up speaking Spanish fluently. And French.
I want to paint every day with joy and delight.
I want to eat amazing pastries.
I want to run a marathon.
I want to laugh until I cry.
I want to swim laps. I want to swim across Silver Lake.
I want to smell sunshine.
I want new sheets I fall in love with.
I want to be famous for my cards.
I want to be in first love again.
I want to be cheerful all the time.
I want to be someplace warm and sunny for the winter without having to fly to get there.
I want to go to film festivals.
I want to be beautiful and healthy at 80 and today too!
I want to smile more.
I want to have my makeup done to see if it makes a difference.
I want to fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night.
I want to have no governor on my capacity to risk or accept or delight.
I want an adventure.
I want a grateful heart.
Tonight I'm going to make another uncensored list to see what I come up with. Here's a link to Nancy Roman's blog "Shouldn't I have this...Shouldn't I have all of this?" http://notquiteold.wordpress.com
Last week I wanted an easier way for you to leave comments, and I think I've found it. Please try it with maybe your own wants.
Baruch ata adonai...I want a grateful heart. Thank you. Amen

what a great blog entry, Barbara - I made my own list!
ReplyDeleteOh... fantastic! I think I am going to try to make that kind of list too.n Here I am again, thanks for changing the way we can comment here.
ReplyDeleteI want to be in 'first love' - YES!!! Love your list Barbara...:-)
ReplyDeleteThere are some things in your list that I wasn´t aware I want but I do! :D
ReplyDeleteInspiring. Off to make my own list. :)
Your list is beautiful, and I'm as inspired by Nancy's list as I am by yours - while at the same time, wishes and dreams - writing them down, really sitting down to find the bones of me - to be honest about wanting beyond what I have is one of the scariest things to do... :)
ReplyDeletewell, well, well...I want to make a list, too! First thing on it is this...I want to just be free to do whatever, whenever...(meaning, wish I didn't have to keep the day job)! Aloha!
