  4. Wow...so many of the things on your list are on mine too. Maybe we should just do them together...kill two birds with one stone!! I urge you to go back to school and take an art class. I went back at age 48, got my AA degree, then went on to get my BA at age 52! You are never too old to do anything you want to do. Write that book of poems. Publish it yourself if you don't want to go to a publisher. At least you have the book done to check off your list. And that children's book: do that too. I have done that but not the poetry one yet. Tess Kincaid did her own chap book though. Easy to do. Thanks for your comments. I will be back here again.

  13. I love this blog, where you keep your dreams alive - with wonderful images that shows nothing is TOO big or TOO little. Our dreams make us whole - never give them up.

    I love you, my dear dear friend from the poetry blogosphere. Take care and let go - it will all come to you with clarity.

  18. I believe that when I die it will be while in the act of doing my bucket list, not having completed--or not.

    You have a good list to be doing any or all.
    PEACE and LIGHT, Carrie!

  21. Carrie,

    I like your Bucket List, since it is not over-indulgent and very easily might relate to my desires also.
    Ireland is a great first choice Carrie!!
    Hopefully it is simply a list you tick through a long and enjoyable life my friend:)

    Best wishes,
    Eileen :)
