This was a great week, and easy for me to write for. So, I chose two. The first was number 5, a fall Haiku.

I am over 50 years old and I also chose to write about 22 things I have never done. The interesting thing for me about this experience is that I found it so hard to find things that I haven't tried. It would be so much easier to write about the things I have done, or the things that I have tried to do. It is harder when I try and write about the things I have never done. Some were easy. I have never done them and I don't want to do them. Others were much harder to think of.
1. I have never been off the North American continent.
2. I have never tried illegal drugs.
3. I have never smoked a cigarette.
4. I have never jumped out of an airplane (and I am never going to either!)
5. I have never been popular.
6. I have never written a book.
7. I have never wished that I did not have so many kids. (Really, truly. I am so happy that I have a big family).
8. I have never climbed Mt. Rainier.
9. I have never owned a house big enough for all my stuff.
10. I have never been snorkeling.
11. I have never been para-sailing.
12. I have never held a monkey.
13. I have never raced another car.
14. I have never worn heels taller than 3 inches. (I am lucky to manage to wear inch high heels at my advanced age!)
15. I have never met a President of the United States.
16. I have never built a building.
17. I have never thrown a party for adults.
18. I have never stayed in the woods by myself overnight.
19. I have never owned a pair of red shoes.
20. I have never owned a bikini.
21. I have never hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
22. I have never denied there is a loving Father in Heaven, who cares, who watches, and who wants me to be more like Him.
I love your haiku! and list too...
ReplyDeleteI also NEVER want to jump out of a plane.
Love your list. As I was reading through them, most of the time I was saying, "Me neither, me neither, me neither." :)
