I have always tried to keep a dream list, bucket list, things I want to do. The past year or two, there hasn't been much on it, because most of what has been on the list has been done, accomplished, experienced. Secretly, I always wanted to play tennis in the Empire Senior Games, but never would have dared to play singles. I don't mind losing, but would hate being totally humiliated. Anyway, recently one of my tennis doubles partners and I have decided that we would like to play doubles in the Games. Now that is something I would be willing to try. My partner is quite good, though neither of us have played in any competitive sports competition. We'll see how that goes. I'm excited.
Also, I have a new "dream" for next year. A number of the folks from my church are active in community theater troupes, one which is performed at the church, and one at the Arts Center. I know the man who directs the plays. I think I will try out for a part next time around. Long long ago I had that dream. Maybe I can re-capture the drama bug!
One needs to dream, and to have things to aspire to, look forward to, imagine--no matter how unlikely the dream may be.
Ideally, I would have so many fun and interesting things I dream of doing that 'work' would be at the bottom of the list.
