My 50's list only has 40 things on it, but I expect it will have way more than 50 by the end of my 50th year. The reason I believe this is because I have been having so much fun since I had my birthday. I seem to be continually involved with more invites for fun or things I haven't done since I was a child... like rolling down a grassy hill or swimming in the lake with my clothes on. Now that is a funny story!
We originally were going to the store to pick up cabbage and it was such a lovely day, we decided to go for a walk in a park, and yes, then I could update the list. We hiked down the hill at St. Edwards park to the water and the water looked so lovely, we decided to put our feet in. Well... then my friend was tempted (or dared) to swim in his jeans. Hmm... and I was contemplating the idea, but in white pants I was a tad bit concerned of what the view would be when I exited the water. But the water called and the idea of swimming without a wetsuit was just too much of a temptation. As I was paddling around in waist deep water, it was kindly pointed out that I was a bit lost without a destination... like a buoy... to swim to. It was also a surprise to swim without goggles or a cap to keep the hair out of my face. I never noticed this being a problem as a child, but alas, I've been in training mode.
So this was fun and not on the list and not involved with the training schedule... just spontaneous. So maybe that's the word I need to add to the list...SPONTANEOUS!
