I am one of your parent's high school friends (the one who sent the quilt) and just today found out the wife of a friend from work has ALS. How I wish her the courage that comes from you. I will call her and tell her to read your blog. You are an inspiration for all. Know you are loved.<BR/><BR/>Pat HeringAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-26491013502843146122008-04-30T11:13:00.000-07:002008-04-30T11:13:00.000-07:00if I were to have a bucket list:*walk very slowly ...if I were to have a bucket list:<BR/>*walk very slowly across the golden gate bridge. back and forth.<BR/>*spend a few days in a tent in Yosemite.<BR/>*visit Glide memorial's soup kitchen and start singing songs about Jesus loud and clear.<BR/>*visit premature babies in a hospital and sing them lullabies.<BR/>*go sailing<BR/><BR/>thanks for the assignment Carla! <3 ceciliaSMU Student Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738646283835204078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-21961979469988561022008-04-23T10:41:00.000-07:002008-04-23T10:41:00.000-07:00I've been puzzling over my bucket for some time no...I've been puzzling over my bucket for some time now. This has been on my mind ever since I read this post and it's taken me a while to put some thoughts down. It's daunting to lay out what you actually in your heart of hearts want to do...and then think about reporting back on what you've actually done about making that happen. It ocurred to me that if I were to pick just couple items for the bucket, it might help....So here goes: I'd like to be more generous when it comes to making mistakes--give myself more permission to make 'em, like saying half-baked things to exceptionally smart people, singing off key (unavoidable) and teaching mediocre classes..... I want to get my cherished women's group together for a reunion ...I want to get myself to Italy (finally!) and celebrate my 50th birthday there with my husband and son...I want to spend more time in nature with friends and loved ones...but mostly these days I just want to get to SF to enjoy a weekend with radiant, beloved Carla.<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/><BR/>StephanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-77093454078147913632008-04-19T11:43:00.000-07:002008-04-19T11:43:00.000-07:00i don't know why but i want to go to Budapest ...i...i don't know why but i want to go to Budapest ...<BR/><BR/>i was talking today w/my housemate about starting a weekly neighborhood Saturday breakfast @ the house ... we could use Hungarian paprika on the potatoes ...<BR/><BR/>more train rides ...frankchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718000113631786728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-21127090439581776602008-04-16T20:41:00.000-07:002008-04-16T20:41:00.000-07:00more bucket dreams:>mindfulness: in the face of st...more bucket dreams:<BR/>>mindfulness: in the face of stress, stress, stress<BR/>>patience, patience, patience: the end all be all of my dreams<BR/>>connection, connection, connection: the end all be all of my dreams<BR/>>redundancy: caring not, i am so...<BR/><BR/>thanks for reading. i WILL be back! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-5359644387033557692008-04-16T09:42:00.000-07:002008-04-16T09:42:00.000-07:00Hmm . . . sometimes I don't know that I've always ...Hmm . . . sometimes I don't know that I've always wanted to do something until I do it. In my thirties, it was learning to drive, perfecting the art of roasting a chicken (damn, is it good), finally going on pointe in ballet (yes it hurt), and quitting my sensible job to become a writer. <BR/><BR/>Now, my list includes tango lessons, writing a comic novel, figuring out my new digital camera, laughing more, loving more, traveling more to visit friends, making more quilts, reading Tolstoy, and appreciating every moment. And of course, some unexpected goals that I don't know about yet. Maybe I'll become a shoemaker. Or a florist. <BR/><BR/>People always ask me what my favorite movie is. I say, I hope it's one I haven't seen yet. <BR/><BR/>MoiraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-27180637175321138882008-04-15T20:33:00.000-07:002008-04-15T20:33:00.000-07:00Dance... haven't done that in so longSaw an ad tod...Dance... haven't done that in so long<BR/><BR/>Saw an ad today to learn to play the piano ...

I love to sing but rarely do because, without fail, singing makes me cry, freely, and I always feel embarrassed by the free flowing tears. Even though they aren’t sad tears, they are tears of joy, I still feel humiliated by them. So, I would join a choir, sing, cry freely, AND choose to not be embarrassed. <BR/><BR/>I think I might dress my children up in outrageous outfits and pose them all around with props and amuse myself taking their pictures. I might write plays with them and video tape them and put them on Youtube. <BR/><BR/>I would like to laugh more, I very rarely laugh (almost never) and I really enjoy it, so maybe I would try out a laughing support group. <BR/><BR/>I would quit planning to find fault before looking in the mirror. <BR/><BR/>I’d ask some people for forgiveness. I’d forgive some people. <BR/><BR/>Karaoke.<BR/><BR/>Listen when my children speak. <BR/><BR/><BR/>KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-87003988756370909772008-04-13T11:14:00.000-07:002008-04-13T11:14:00.000-07:00my bucklet is full. here is a start:~loving: PH f...my bucklet is full. here is a start:<BR/><BR/>~loving: PH forever and ever, despite...<BR/>~treating: my friends to many breakfasts, lunches, dinners<BR/>~gazing (intertwined with lazing): DAILY, DAILY, DAILY, for any amount of time <BR/>~petting: you fill in this one!<BR/><BR/>and i WILL be back. thanks! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
