Unlikely Dreams:
Who among us doesn't have a few 'never-gonna-happen' dreams? I can't post these on the sidebar list, because the chance of their ever coming true isn't very high - be it because of a lack of time, money, opportunity, or luck. (Although actually, I did get my EMT certification, and I did meet Josh Groban - two items that spent a long time on this list!) But anyway, whatever the reasons, these are the most 'dreamy' of all my hundred-plus life goals, and so I've accepted that I will probably never:
Go into outer space,
Fly a plane,
Swim the 22-mile Catalina Channel,
Teach sign language to a primate,
Be on a reality TV show,
Learn to speak Xhosa (a click language),
Be the voice for an animated character,
Be in the Oprah audience,
Meet Johnny Depp,
See the (closed to the public) original Lascaux cave paintings,
Be an extra in a movie,
Train a guide dog puppy,
Climb Mt. Olympus in Greece,
Go on an adult Semester at Sea trip, or
Perform in a play.
But really, what are fifteen unfulfilled dreams, compared with all those that can come true? - Not to mention those that already have!
(Still, if anyone has an inside line to NASA, the French government, ABC's Extreme Home Makeover, or Johnny Depp's sister's husband's cousin... ;))
