By The Time I Am 40

I (Mary) will turn 40 years of age on June 6, 2018. The reason I am thinking about 40 is because it seems that I will have to revisit some of the things I wanted to do by the time I am 30, which will be next summer. My big goal was to have visited all 50 states by 30. At this time I have not visited Alaska, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Vermont, Delaware, or New Jersey. I am confident that the last 4 could be accomplished rather easily as they are all near where we live, but the other two seem to be beyond my reach. So, I think I have to get a 5 to 10 year extension for that one. There are other things I would like to do. Some of them have been on my list since high school some of them are new. Just to name a few, I would love to learn to sail, play tennis (and actually be good enough to complete a game), and I would love to participate in some type of outdoor challenge. Maybe in some grueling race of sorts that requires biking, hiking, and canoing (If you know of one let me know). I want to race a horse as fast as it can go and learn to ballroom dance. I want to go to another country (yes, I have been overseas, but I want to go somewhere further and more foreign). I want to learn another language enough to speak to a native. I want to create some type of art and grow a garden. I would love to go to a day spa (not exactly sure what goes on at a day spa, but I would like to be pampered). I want to meet up with old friends every couple of years and never loose touch. I want to try new foods and read more. I want to watch a sunset every week. I want to research our family tree. I want our kids to spend a summer on the New River eating catfish, tubing, and hearing stories about "when we were kids".

Well, I had better get started. What about you? What is on your list?
