There is a website entitled 225 things to do before you die (link). I went through all of them. Many, I have no interest in; some, I have done already like…
- Help out a stranger in distress
- Solve a Rubik’s cube (I had to have help from a book)
- Do something that absolutely terrifies you (I actually do a lot of things that terrify me)
- Finish a jigsaw puzzle
- Lifelong collector of something (coins, stamps, snowmen, shot glasses, plus more)
- Create your family tree
- Work for tips
- Piña Colada in San Juan, Puerto Rico (it has been a while)
- Fast for 3 days (only a few times in my life-one earlier this year)
- Collect favorite recipes
- Eat a six course meal that you prepared
- Learn CPR (as a Girl Scout leader)
- Watch a drive-in movie
- Get married (did that twice so far—maybe I won’t do that one again 🙂 )
- Forgive and let go of grudges (sometimes that is difficult but I’m learning)
- Write a book (just completed that one)
- File your own taxes (used to do that all the time)
- Walt Disney World
- Help someone fulfill a goal (a very rewarding thing to do)
- Buy a house (a joint effort)
- Lunar eclipse & solar eclipse
- Connect with teachers from your past (scary)
- Build a bonfire and make S’mores (YUM!)
- World Expo
- Rescue an animal from a shelter (Simon)
- Sleep in a hammock
- Create a bucket list (in the process)
- Pass on a family heirloom (in the works for several items)
That makes 28 things I have already done on someone’s list. When you get older, you find that there are a lot of things you have already done. Even if you list only 10 things, it is something to work toward. Mine is quite a bit more than 10… 🙂 .

Happy Gardening in all of your gardens and may they be forever beautiful! 🙂
