This may sound silly to those who have been Atheist for a long while, but as a new Atheist, it has just truly dawned on me, that even though the earth will be here for a very long time after I am gone and my bones turn to dust, I have only a short while to experience it. So that is EXACTLY what I intend to do :D So many things to see and do, I am wondering what is your 10 things to do before you die? I am thinking about mine and will post them as soon as possible :)

If I had to choose 10 things, I'd say I've done them already, and a thousand more! Nothing wrong with wanting experiences, and I certainly want more, but at this point, I'll taking it one day at a time, and I'll let reality surprise me. I guess I just want to live every minute as fully as I possibly can. I consider myself so lucky that I have done so many things on the "bucket list". Certainly there are still 10 things and more on mine, but I'll take what I can get, and if I don't get them all, that's okay too.

But one thing I do want, and that is to make a positive contribution each day. That's pretty hard to define, but mostly it is just simple stuff: being a good mentor and roll model to others. Helping someone see more clearly is so gratifying.

What if I just want to do one thing ten times?

If it's that much fun Reggie, ten times ain't gonna be nearly enough!
Comment by Reggie on November 11, 2010 at 11:18pm
Well, at the moment I'd settle for once.

@ Bill - That is really great Bill! Care to share your most favorite 10? I think making a difference in peoples lives and making positive contributions are very important as well :)

@ Reggie - Hahaha! YEAH well as they say, "what ever floats your boat"! What's your 1 thing?

@Reggie That is one of the best scenes in that movie!

Yeah, too bad it appears to have disappeared. C'est la vie!

I'll have to think about the other nine, but this is the last one I want to do.

I wonder if I'll have enough for cuff links too??? :P

DeSwiss....you spend too little time here, IMO.

@ Reggie - sorry to delete that video, but for me, it's not appropriate to have on my blog. My husband, as awesome as he is, would not like it and I want him to feel comfortable with me being on this site. We have rules for each other, and that is border line. I'm suprised he is ok with me being "friends" with other guys. But he is :) Thanks for responding though :)

@ Joli - Hey, as much as I absolutely hate having my comments deleted, I make an exception for that hatred when it is on someone's T|A blog. I accept it with some grumbling.
