I know that having a Bucket List has been quite the trend the last couple years. I haven't ever been a big fan of them - for myriads of reasons.
So I decided that I'd rather have a Wish List. Here are a few things my list might contain (in no particular order):
1. A kind and sensitive heart.
2. An adventurous spirit.
3. For all my loved ones to know true happiness and joy, and to find that in each other.
4. To be full of grace and truth.
5. To be a true friend, and to have a true friend. (Yes, My Love, that would be You!)
6. To be ever grateful.
7. Compassion.
8. Generosity.
9. A really fun sense of humor.
10. A slim body, good eyes, thick hair, strong nails and naturally beautiful teeth.
And those are just the things off the top of my head. If I put my mind to it, I'm sure I could come up with a whole bunch of others.
Witnessed a very tender, sweet scene today; a young engaged couple and the warm connection between all of their parents. Don't know any of them, but I wish them the best. I was privileged to watch their interaction. Hope is still alive and well.
Observations
Having been out and about, amongst the road construction and therefore the hampered traffic, and all the outdoor goings-on that occur in the summer, and interacting with people in stores, etc., I'll share a few of my thoughts.
1. Manners matter.
2. Kindness counts.
3. Forgiveness (and the follow-up forgetting) is fruitful.
4. Paying attention is particularly productive.
5. People are just trying to do their
a. job
b. best
c. part
d. all of the above
6. No matter what kind of a good "face" I try to put on things, I still don't like:
a. shopping
b. spending money
c. hot weather
7. Should have stopped for gelato - it can make everything seem better, at least for a little while.

Computer
I remember being dragged, kicking, screaming, unwillingly, temper-tantrum throwing into the computer arena. Wasn't gonna - you can't make me - no way - not gonna happen.
Now I own not one but 3 computers. (Only two of which are actually in use, though.) And that doesn't include the smart-phone I'm using.
And I find myself musing about what I'd do without them. I'm not into word-processing, or spreadsheets but I love the e-mail, the picture sharing, the blogging, the games.
Thanks, Husband, for your encouragement, prompting and technical support. It's been fun. (And astonishingly fulfilling.) You're The Best.

Bike
Rode 14.5 miles this morning. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Decided to take a page from The Husband's book and try to do some of it in 3rd gear. Actually liked it, made the bike go faster! Spent most of the ride in 3.4 or 3.5.
Must be a little stronger than I thought. All my fat does a good job supporting those muscles.
