Ok, not really!! But I'm feeling the need to do something huge before I turn 50. Something to leave my mark on this world...or maybe just on my life! So let's review a couple of options...
Tattoo? No!! For one, I hate needles. To the point where when my sons got their immunizations, the doctor made me stand in the hall! And let's face it, for one brief moment...when you got a tattoo, you were different. Now everyone has one and the sense of being unique has long since left the building.
Skydiving? I said I wanted to make a mark on my life...not end said life!! I am flat out just not brave enough. I know all the statistics about how safe it is when you jump with an instructor...I don't care...not gonna happen!!
That half-written novel that's been patiently waiting for me? Now this one is at least within the realm of reality. Of course, it's been waiting for a while but the end may actually be in sight in the not too distant future. And with the advent of Smashwords, etc.; publication is a possibility!
Or maybe I'll just keep going the way I have been and try to be the best friend I can be. Surely that leaves a mark somewhere, don't you think?
I sky dived a few years back with a great friend. Though I've wised up since then, it was a memory I greatly enjoyed making.
