Go white water rafting.
Sitting here trying to come up with these is becoming more and more difficult. Meaning, they don't just come up right away, I actually have to think for a minute. Haha! Today's wish came to me while thinking about the Grand Canyon.
(My thought process) I've been there, to both rims... Hike it? Heh nah... Oh wait! The Colorado River flows through the Canyon and it's absolutely gorgeous in color and it's one that is a white water rafting expedition thing. (end of thought process) *chuckles at self* Now, I'm not saying I have to do the Canyon River that's just the one that came up in my thought process and memories...

Why would I want to do this?
I don't remember the exact story but when I was 8 my entire family (?) went on a trip to go white water rafting with the church we were attending at the time. I thought it would be interesting, but definitely figured I was too weak to do it, plus I believe I was told that I was too small. Since then I've wanted to make a trip. It just sounds like an adventure, but with oh so much fun!

On a very side note, I have noticed that the majority of the times when I write a post on my iPhone it's about 10 times shorter than if I type it on my laptop. Mostly because when I use my iPhone I'm distracted. Haha!

Learn how to juggle.
So this is kind of a piggy back off of last nights... Obviously. I have never been able to juggle more than 2 things at a time and would absolutely love to be able to do at least 3. Hehe!!

Why would I want to do this?
Being able to juggle is quite a talent. I think it'd be super awesome to be able to do. :)

Ride a unicycle.
Not really sure what made me think of this just now but it popped into my head. Hehe!! I started going through my list of things I want to do, as always, when I suddenly remembered a student at the school that is connected with my job that could juggle while riding a unicycle. Somehow I skipped the juggling and went straight to the unicycle part (no worries, everything will be addressed in a timely manner).

Why would I want to do this?
As most look at riding a unicycle as a circus act I think it would be a blast to be able to do. Can you imagine pulling one out on a sidewalk and peddling down the way? Oh it would be a blast. :)

Go to Central Park.
For all of the times I've been to NYC I have yet to step foot in Central Park. It's one of those places that I want to go to but haven't yet.

Why would I want to do this?
Well, what I really want to do is take a carriage ride around the park, but that's beyond the point. Haha!!

Learn how to play the guitar.
This somewhat goes with yesterdays entry. On multiple occasions friends have shown me a cord or two. After about a day I tend to forget them though... I would just love to be able to pick up a guitar and play it in a field out in the middle of nowhere. Playing with the sounds of nature is just delightful. What could be better than playing along with one of the greatest masterpieces?

Why would I want to do this?
When I was younger I really had a desire to play the guitar but didn't have the drive to buy myself a guitar and teach myself. Because although my oldest brother plays the guitar (the other plays Bass + a few other instruments) I don't think me and my little self could hold his guitar properly and plus our schedules never worked out for him to show me anything either. One we almost set up times for lessons, but it was my fault that never worked out. It was around that point in my life I decided to stop lying to people. You loose their trust that way. I realized that being trusted by others is a gift and one shouldn't push it away... :)

Write a song.
So I remember posting this on my facebook awhile ago and it just came to me again when I saw a teen on tv promoting their new solo album.

Why would I want to do this?
Well, I used to write songs all the time when I was 9 - 13 but got caught up in my life and lost the desire to write songs anymore. I'd like to prove to myself that I not only can write a song I like, but also put it to music. It would be fun to pull it out in the future and play it for my kids too. :)

You know, a lot of the things I've come up with are things I want to be able to look back on and tell the stories and adventures of to my children and grandchildren. Huh. Yes, I just realized this a month in. Haha!

Jet ski.
There really was no inspiration for this one, it's just something I thought of today while pondering my entry.

Why would I want to do this?
Well, it always looks like so much fun. To go that fast across the water would be pretty darn exciting too. :)
