what I would do
 
Loved reading this reply this a.m. I would jump out of an airplane that is good condition. Skydiving was a hoot, and I would do it again and again if I could.

Hike and Ride
 
Hike and camp out under the stars.

Ride horses for a week in the wilderness.

Dance the Texas 2 step with my wife.

Jump on a trampoline.

Perform in a musical ("South Pacific").

Dive from the 3 meter board.

OK, I'd loll on a beach in the Caribbean? ....
 
Just? Enjoying the breezes and the slow waves on the shores...
I'd ride a perfect horse [butt permitting?] to the hilltops I want to go to and SEE, then to the brooks to enjoy and cross them. For hours on end!
I'd become the shopping wizard I know I am!
I'd go w/my husband to all those places we THOUGHT we'd go, once we retired [not the hospital, thank you!] Seashores and mountain spots one has gone but the other has not, and would appreciate.
Go to see the GRAND CANYON! I almost made it at age 10? But life interuppted. I want to go to Yellowstone and see the geysers, and Banff.
I'd like to see Australia? And kangaroos and wallabees in their own habitats. And that mesa with the prehistoric carvings, then the cave in France with the same sort of carvings? We ARE the same somehow?
See the tides come in at Mont St Michel? Then maybe Notre Dame? And then? If I could? I'd go just about anywhere! Why? Because I can! I feel now like a whiney child: I WANNA! I WANNA! You betcha I wanna! But IF I can is a whole other kettle of fish or something.... :hug::hug::hug:'s - j

I'd have 6 kids someday and not have to worry about not being able to take care of them!

On a less serious note, I'd go to the park and swing my day away with a good book.

Or spend a few hours in a pool without worrying about the chlorine burning my feet.

And I'd write and publish hundreds of childrens books... (I've already started writing some.. but hundreds? Probably won't happen.. we'll see!)

My Dreams
 
If I didn't have Neuropathy I would like to be in a Broadway production, and sing and dance, or that is try.

Also, Cyclelops was talking about doing things that take courage.

I would like to be a Lady Ghost Hunter like Jason and Grant and go visit The haunted Stanley House. Would anyone else care to go?

I too believe that dreams and hope and seeking answers is what keeps us going.

Love this thread.

Nice to share dreams with you.

Triplets! Oh my Lord...Lovely though.

Thank you for your compliment. It makes me feel good... especially now! I went to get my eyes checked and did get a new pair of glasses today... That will make me (and Hubby, if I am happy) feel better about things. I am going to go get my hair dyed and cut (maybe short again). A new me...
Intrinsic worth is everything! I just have to remember that every now and then...Thanks for reminding me...

Yes, neuropathy robs us of a lot of dreams.....but it does not rob us of our intrinsic worth.

we wander off the beaten track?

We can run across the nation,
hitting each restroom in every gas station.

One step at a time,
staying in spas for a dime,
getting a massages to boot,
then learning to play the flute.....
or eating luscious fruit.

No boring or burning,
No wishing or yearning,
We will peddle gray ribbons
And pet friendly gibbons,
And smile for the press,
Looking good as can be,
While doing philanthropy,
for Neuropathy!

We can star in a movie,
bout how we got groovy,
bout how heroic we be,
Sandra Bullock plays me,
Oh, thank you for fantasy....

If only I did not have neuropathy.......

Rrae....can you add your emoticons...we are on a roll......

Oh, I will go ghost hunting with you. I have been to the Stanley and plan to go again in the next year. Also another good ghost haunt is the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, AR....very good...I can attest to that.

Yep, do something that scares you every day!:eek:
