I always wanted to write a great novel.
I love good guitar music, especially rock and roll. I always wanted to be able to play. My father was an awesome guitar player and he didn't read music. He only had to hear a song once and he could play it. I loved to hear him play. I own a guitar but the neck is too big for my hand, so this Gibson is my dream !!!
I have always wanted to travel, by car, I hate flying !! And since this show has been on TV I have wanted to visit the places he shows us !! The Diners, Drive-Ins and dives tour I'll call it !!
And the one place I've always said I wanted to visit the most is Maine. Don't ask me why but all of my adult life, I know that's a long time, I have wanted to visit Maine and enjoy the coast and mountains and of course "CRAB CAKES" and maybe a lobster roll or two !!
When I was young I had so many dreams, first and foremost I wanted to be a mother. Something I am blessed to be!! So if I never accomplish anything else I'm happy to be a mom. There is no greater feeling than for your toddler to grab your face look you in the eyes and tell you she loves you!! If I never heard another sound I would have been alright then.
So today as I am getting close to retirement, I can see the dreams I had as a young girl in my mind and some dreams I've added since then. I am grateful to have lived long enough to be able to think about living some of my dreams.
Man who would have thought I would be happy to be 55, life looks pretty good from here actually, seriously who would have thought....

Now that you are retiring, you can add those things that you wanted to do to your "bucket list"...you are going to be one busy lady!!!!
Those are things I'd like to do, but because I'm retired won't be able to afford !! hehehehe
A girl can dream...you have some fun ones! I hope once you retire you will get to do some of it. I can see you traveling...and picking up a guitar. :) You can hit a lot of drive-ins on your way to Maine!
I hear you. I never thought I'd be this happy in my 50s either. I thought once the kids left home the best was gone forever. I'm learning this is a very special time of life, and I'm so thankful for it.
