A person's goals can tell you a lot about them. Upon self-reflection, that has me worried! I am not a big dreamer. I have no desire to conquer Annapurna, sail around the Horn, or discover the cure for cancer. Well, I'd love it if someone found the cure for cancer, but I am probably not the best candidate for that.
Having reached the goal of raising two amazing daughters to adulthood, I occasionally find myself wandering with a blank stare wondering what to do with the rest of my life. I decided to take notes as ideas come to me. It's important for everyone to have something to work toward, a few big things to attempt before blinking and realizing your chances have all passed.
Goal #1: Learn to shake my ass like the backup dancer in Ricky Martin's Livin' La Vida Loca video.
Now, this is a skill I can use at some point! If I climbed a mountain, I'd have some pictures and frostbite scars to show off at parties. Big deal. But, if I learned to shake my ass like that dancer, just think of the impression I could make dancing at my daughter's wedding! She'd probably be right beside me, shakin' her thang!
I haven't told my daughter about my goal yet. I thought it'd be better to just spring it on her when the time comes. I already know her reply, it's an old standard. "You explain so much about me."
