100 Things Worth Doing, Part IV

Memories that I hope flash before my eyes at the end of my life; one hundred moments, numbers sixty-one through eighty.

  1. Spending a day sprawled on a blanket in the park, reading.
  2. Deja-vu in the tepidarium at Bath.
  3. Laughing until my sides hurt and tears are rolling down my cheeks.
  4. Firing a gun for the first time.
  5. Blueberries picked on a mountain top.
  6. Skinny-dipping.
  7. Walking into a theater in the afternoon and not leaving again until the next morning.
  8. Sitting in front of the fire in the den to dry my hair.
  9. The mysterious boy who gave me a lemon in lieu of his phone number.
  10. Driving, singing along at the top of our lungs.
  11. Spoons on our noses at dinner at the ranch.
  12. Countless late-night meals, all of us jammed into vinyl booths laughing and sharing food.
  13. Jellyfish on the dock at Xtina's parent's house "down the shore."
  14. Packing all my stuffed animals into suitcases for their "vacation" when we needed the spare bed.
  15. Teaching swim classes at the local YWCA.
  16. Purposely letting ourselves "get lost" in Rome so that we could get away from the stupid, loud tour group.
  17. Having to hide from a group of enthusiastic Greek sailors on leave in Athens.
  18. Picnicking by a waterfall after a long, tiring hike.
  19. The dizzy feeling you get when you can see miles of blue or starry sky uninterrupted.
  20. A movie-quality kiss at Union Station.
