Working as a CNA, I have had many opportunities to talk with a lot of elderly people. I love being able to get to know them. But I tell you what, one thing that most every single one of my patients have wanted the most is someone to listen to them. Let's face it, most elderly long stories that they could tell all day.. Some of them are pretty interesting and others are....well, just long!
I have learned so much from listening to all of these stories and experiences that my patients have had. One thing thatI have learned is that I will end up regretting more of the things that I didn't do, than the things that I did. Therefore, I have added to my bucket list. There are so many things that I want to do in life. Some of the things on my bucket list currently are:
Have a message to me on the Terrace Depot gas station sign (all those that live around it understand what I'm talking about!)
Go to an NFL game (preferrably the Cowboys!)
Learn another language
Kiss in the rain
To see my name on the Jimmy's Floral sign and get a free rose (too bad I have one of THE most common names in America!)
Go to China
Have a Lady and the Tramp moment while eating spaghetti
Meet an apostle
Sit in one of the first three rows at a Jazz game( and look all cool with one of those amazing lanyards on)
Learn how to play the piano and the guitar
Attend an authentic Luau
Kick an actual bucket
Attend a session of General Conference
Solve a Rubix cube
Become all Martha Stewartish(minus the jail time) and be crafty/cooky/homemakerish
Have a temple marriage
There is quite a bit more to my list and yes, some of them may seem a tad bit strange but you have probably figured out by now that I can myself can be a little strange. Life is pretty darn amazing! These are just a few things that I think will make it even better!
