- Get my motorcycle license, own a bike, and ride it from coast to coast.
- Skydive
- Parasail
- Hang-glide
- Jump on the trampoline
- Use rope swings
- Roll around on the floor having tickle fights with kids
- Steam up the car windows at a drive-in movie
- Skinny dip (no one says you have to watch once gravity has completely ravaged me, but I'll still be doing it anyway)
- Giggle in church
- Laugh until I can't breathe
- Make funny faces at little kids so they giggle
- Wear my tie dyes
- Color with crayons (Tip for the day: Keep a box of crayons and a coloring book or pad of paper in your desk. If nothing else seems to go right pull it out. You can color your pictures any way you like and you can stay in the lines OR scribble it up, whatever makes you happy. Forget desktop zen gardens...go for the coloring books. Great stress buster for everyone, especially those who think they have no artistic talent. If you want you can sign them to yourself and hang them up...really make people wonder.)
- Marvel over a bug, a melting snowflake, or a purple leaf
- Imagine shapes in the clouds
Do you get the idea? I'm not planning on growing up any time soon. I'm not looking to get to the end with a well preserved corpse but skid into the grave all used up as they say. So anything I should add to this list?

What an awesome list. Your zest for life is inspiring. I hope it's okay if I borrow some of them for myself.
Except for the first 4 (which I have no desire to do - ever) -- I agree 100%!!!!
Here's to being young-at-heart forever!! Cheers!!
I'm getting the idea that you have one LUCKY husband. I love your spirit of adventure.
That's a great list! You are not too old to zip-line.
Eat ice cream in the summer while walkng barefoot in the grass!
Go buy yourself a bunch of red balloons, don't pretend they are for a birthday party....tell the salesperson that they are just for you...walk out of store with giant bunch of red balloons and yell, "Whoopeee!"
I love the coloring book idea, and thanks for giving us permission to "scribble it up!" LOL
Love the list! Everybody should have one! Cheers!
just because you lost(your war with gravity) doesn't mean you have to like it.
great list and if you ride the bike to Seattle, I will buy you a coffee :D Since I know of your deep and abiding love for the brew!
You rock! Definitely no age limit on any of those. My ex-husband's grandpa has been skydiving 3 or 4 times now and he didn't start until he was 70!
That is a wonderful list, and I wholeheartedly agree w/ colouring books and crayons. I've always had one tucked away, even before my daughter was born. When I'd leave it on the table, people would ask if I had been babysitting. When I replied nope, I had a few raised eyebrows but that's where the questions ended. I really don't know why people are so darned afraid of just loosening up a little!

Rock climb on real rocks not some wall inside a gym... And keep the zipline!!
When you're living an exciting life, you're bound to break a few bones.
What a great attitude you have lime, all I can say is "you go girl" :)

I keep kids books in my desk. It's always refreshing to enjoy the simple things in life after a stressful day at the office.
Whether it be A light in the Attic or a kid's Almanac, it's always an enjoyable read!
I have a color book and crayons in my desk drawer and several at home. It is a great way to relive stress. I say go for the sky diving!!! I did it a couple weeks ago for the first time. It was for my birthday. It was the best. I like your lists. I would add white water rafting!
