I will never skydive....most likely

This is about as dangerous as it has ever gotten for me.  I think this was just before the time I rode this very bike with training wheels through a mud puddle and ran over the biggest snake I've ever seen in my life!  YIKES!!!

I will most likely NEVER learn to see a snake anywhere anytime and be okay with it.  

It is decided.  I am now 54 and I no longer have to do those things that I never want to do again.  Well, at least pretty much.

Most likely I will never ride a roller coaster.  Never have and I'm so old now I don't have to.  Space Mountain at Disney World nearly did me in.

Most likely I will never finish my scrapbooks that I've collected photos and materials for about...hmmm...most of my life.  Most likely I may not remember who anyone is by the time I actually have time to do them!!

Most likely I will never be out of debt.  I should feel like this one bothers me more than it does.  Not really. It would be nice, but life is short.  My Dad agrees.

Most likely I will never be as organized as I would like to think that I am.  I don't like too much clutter, but it often just hunts me down and hangs around.  And no, I'm not a hoarder.  Not yet anyway.

Most likely I will never be a size 8 again.  It has been a long time since that dress size.  I would love to be healthier and feel more comfortable in my clothes.  However, if having my children was the price to pay for this, then I'm okay with it.  And, I know, there were some donut holes and french fries there too.

Most likely I will never water ski again.  I did this like crazy as a teenager and in my 20's.  Never dreamed I would raise my children without a boat.  Tried it a few years back before my knees gave up on me and I couldn't get out of the water.  Oh well.

Most likely I will never take another college class.  Again here's one to be grateful for.

Most likely I will never hear apologies from those who need to be giving one....that's because they don't sell bananas at the tire store.  I need bananas and all they have are tires.  Get it?

I will never skydive, most likely.  But, like many other things in life, that is really okay by me.  It is the things that I have done and WILL do that are my focus.  It's just good to acknowledge all of that other stuff every now and then.
