1. Take a watercolor class. I work with preschool children and everytime we get out the watercolors and paper I love to sit with the little ones and paint. It calms my soul, it brings me to "that place" I call ME. It's amazing what preschoolers can paint! They are totally oblivious to "what's right or what's wrong." They go at it with sheer joy and gusto. They love to cover the paper with gobs of color and you would be amazed at how beautiful they turn out. When they paint you can tell they are putting their whole selves into the experience; it's as if they are in their "zone". Maybe in my next life (or in Heaven, I hope), I will be an art teacher, inspiring the little ones to just go at it with sheer joy!
2. Learn to read music so I can play my electric keyboard. I know I can play it without knowing the notes but I really want to know what I'm doing, why I'm hitting THAT key instead of THIS one. If there is only one song I want to learn to play it would be "To Take, To Hold" composed by Yanni. Ok, don't laugh, yes, I said Yanni. He is a wonderful composer; especially his early stuff. This above mentioned song is in his cd "In My Time." That song brings memories to me of feelings I have had that I have no words to express .
3. Make a quilt. I've always wanted to learn how. A former coworker of mine makes gorgeous quilts.
4. Really get out there and cook like there's no tomorrow. I love to cook, but I've been getting in a slump lately. I will let you know about some of my culinary catastrophes (my kids laugh about them all the time) at a later date. I have to admit, grilled pizza was the most hilarious error I had ever made! ;-)
5. Get my bathroom remodeled. It desparately needs it. It's been 30 years since we did anything major to it. I can't wait until the vent is installed so I can switch it on with the light and get all that moisture/humidity/mildewy crap out of my bathroom; then on to our bedroom. We wallpapered it 20 years ago; mauve and pink and light blue flowers are soooooooo eighties!
