The way I see it is if I write down all the things I want to do in my life and tick off the ones I've done as I do them then hopefully I'm going to be able to look back and say "Yes, I loved life and I lived it."
So I've devised a list, well i didn't devise it- 100 things to do in your life has been around for ages. God knows loads of people must have sat down on rainy days in winter (like i did) and written one. I love my list and unless something major prevents me from doing everything on it I fully intend to do them all. Fact.
I can dream, everyone can and my dreams stretch far and wide;
.Cycle round Greece- after reading Greece on My Wheels (5 times!) I am definitely going to be doing this.
.Get/ Rent a Loft Apartment in Paris and spend my days there listening to Joni Mitchell and eating baguettes/sitting for hours in smokey cafes drinking lots of coffee and trying to write songs.
.Go on a road trip-at this point I don't even care where anymore although I suppose America would be one of the best places. I'd like to do it Elizabethtown Style, I'd also love to go to a Southern State where the crickets chirp all night long and all day and the weather is so hot that everyday feels like the depths of summer so when the rain falls people dance in the street. I want a rickety house with a porch and rocking chair and guitar and a white picket fence and an old VW Kombi bus that I've painted myself..I want to write a novel that has moderate success-enough to get me a slot in The Guardian magazine
.Visit a real blues bar/go to Australia/Go to Mardi Gras/Swing into lake/Live on a boat/Go to all the famous art galleries/Document one day in pictures/Finally have a room I can dedicate just to records
There are so many more things on my list. To be exact there are 135 things and I think with the right amount of dreaming and hoping I can do them all. Nothing is impossible because everyday people make things possible.
