Before you die

Not long ago my wife and I were at the World Market and I noticed a book at the counter called 101 things to do before you die,” by Richard Home.

I flipped through it in the checkout line. Then I dismissed it as nothing more than a marketing gimmick; just another impulse buy. But now I’m not so sure.

One of the items on the list of 101 things was write a book.

Yesterday I met someone who wrote a book. It won’t be an Amazon best seller. I’m positive you haven’t heard of it. I’m even more positive it’s not in print.

Still, the guy along with his wife, wrote a book. I’ve wanted to write a book for awhile now. But I’ve been busy and I’m not sure what I’d write. Still, I want to do it.

What do you want to do before you die?

    A few years ago my answer would have been to see Europe, but I have done that now.
    I think I’d like to learn how to paint. I’ve always loved impressionist art and I think it would be a great creative outlet for me.

    Not to sound campy or kissass, but I think you’re an excellent writer. I was actually thinking about this very thing last week after reading your posts about the birth of Ember. I encourage you to explore it.
