Better Get Down to It!
I recently read an article by Breezy O'Day about the thing she wants to do, be or have in her life, her bucket list, if you will. It got me thinking, and as you know, making me think is just about the best thing a writer can do. Her story is here, I encourage you to give it a read:
As I was thinking, I realized there are a lot of things that I still want to do. Given that I’m 50, I suppose I’d better get at them, or as my mother used to say I’d better get down to it.
I’m a fan of lists and I’ve had bucket lists before. I’ve been fortunate to accomplish many of the things on my previous lists. I went back to school, I became a lawyer, I became a writer. Other things, I didn’t get to do, like seeing George Michael live (that one still burns me, I was there, literally there in Sydney, Australia, with tickets in hand in 2012 and he cancelled due to high anxiety following his nearly fatal bout of pneumonia). Then he died in 2016. Oh, well, I suppose I can’t have everything I want.
