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