Ten Things meme

[cjsmith]

Why is it that when I read about things others have done and I have not, I jump to the conclusion that I'm somehow more boring? After all, if I think hard about it, I probably could come up with ten things of my own. (I don't need y'all to come telling me how fascinating my life is; I mean, you can if you want, but it's not necessary.) Would I really have to match *everyone's* most quirky experiences to think of myself as interesting?

I'm also envious of some of the things. Wish I could travel more, wish I had more nifty skills, and DAMN but I miss running and hiking and backpacking. Most of all, I miss being able to think "I could do that some day."

Why shouldn't you?

Because my body is not healthy enough to do things like running, hiking, or backpacking any more. It might not ever be healthy enough again.

I'm rather sad about this. I used to think I had all my life to do the things I enjoyed; now I realize that maybe I only had the first thirty-six years, and those are in the past.
