Freewriting from the I Believe List

I believe that i will live to be 100 . I want to live a fulfilling life and see and do as much as I can. I  think that I will have some wonderful stories to tell my grandchildren. Maybe I can get them to walk the Appalachian trail with me maybe when I am 90. I think that turning 100 is a wonderful accomplishment. I hope I still have  all my marbles then. I dont mind if I end up living in a nursing home so long as it is a good one. I wonder what my caretakers will be like and will they want to listen to my stories. I hope that at 100 I can still see and hear OK and get along without too much help. The idea of totally losing my independence scares me. Maybe  my family will take my home on weekends and holidays. This freewriting is harder than it seems. My thoughts just get all jumbled up. guess I need to work on a bucket list. What else do I want to do before I turn 100. I would like to go to alaska, and maybe the north pole. Hey maybe I can meet santa clause. I would like to visit every continent. I would like to climb mount everest. now that's funny because i really dont do heights or cold very well. Maybe by the time i get around to climbing the mountain there will be better and warmer clothes. I think the top of mt everest is about as close as you can get to touching the sky wiith your feet still on the ground,  I am running out of things to say.oh boy. what a day. hope i get more thoughts in my brain pretty soon. Maybe i should work on trying to write a song. thats really funny since i dont sing very well, cant carry atune in a bucket. Back to the bucket list. I would like to see a hummingbird nest. i used to collect bird nests as a kid and bird feathers. Even got to put them on display at the librarry. guess that makes me a real nerd. Evnen had my first job at the library whille every one else was working fast fgood.     379 words

  1. A wonderful post. I had a neighbor who lived to be 103. He rode his bike every single day up and down our road and spent, from what I observed, 10 years working daily at clearing a lot he owned across from our own. No equipment, just his hands. This may be the key. ~Ms. A.

  2. Hi, my name is Jung Chang. My grandmother died in April this year. She was 92. She was health until a few months ago when she die. She had two grand-grand children when she dies. I think how long people live is not important. How long people live healthy is better. I miss my grandmother….
