Bucket List Resolution

As I'm on the downhill slope to *cringe* thirty, I've decided to make a New Year's Resolution and actually stick to it. Since the last resolution I made was probably fourteen years ago, when I was hell-bent on improving my jumpshot, this might be a stretch. I've had a list of things to do before I die, since I was about twenty, and since we don't get younger, why not start trying to mark some of those things off? I've been feeling all sorts of creative energy just building inside me with no way to escape. At times, I've felt like I was going to burst. Therefore, I've decided to take a chance at writing, as it is one of the items on my good ol' bucket list. I know I won't be writing the "great American novel" anytime soon, so why not at least put myself out there in an online blog? I know, I know...I'm not the blogging type. In fact, I'm fantastic at bottling my feelings and exploding over the smallest thing. Ask my husband, I'm sure he'll vouch for me there.
So, in addition to my online journal, I will be writing privately. Maybe someday I'll be pleased enough with a story to share it. It is something I've always secretly wanted to do, and, though I do not foresee kicking the bucket anytime soon, I can mark it off my list!
Some other items on my list:
Paint a mural
Publish a book
Be in the same room with Phil Jackson (going to a Lakers game in February, check!)
Tour Italy
Shake hands with someone famous
See a Broadway show
Visit as often as you'd like! I'm sure there will be some days that I write 5 times on this thing, and others that I write nothing at all. I'm hoping this will be somewhat freeing for me, in that I'm putting myself out there for all to see. Wish me luck...
