Tuesday's Tidbits

Yesterday I had started a post about receiving the You're going places baby award from Anne at Asthma and the Gift of Running when I received word about Wendy's sudden passing while visiting with her brother and friends in Grand Cayman.   This was a total shock as I had chatted with her on Friday and we exchanged "blog words" on Saturday, that very morning just before she headed off for her Flowers Sea Swim.  Wendy was a gentle spirit with a passion for life and all it could give her.  I will miss her encouraging words, her curiosity towards life, her love for her family and for her "Boarder", aka, Onyx her cat and "for all things sparkly"...just knowing that Wendy was loving and living her life to the fullest and enjoying her time in the Caymans and so graciously sharing with us her photo's of her beloved underwater sea world makes me grateful for her time she shared with all of us, virtual and otherwise.  

Wendy you will be sorely missed.

so back to blogging as Wendy would want,

I'm to tell you where I'll be in my life ten years from now:

• I'd like to think that I'd be retired from working, but since I front loaded my life with fun it is highly unlikely!!
• at almost 70, I'll still be cycling and going on cycle tours, look out Blizzard!
• I'll still be running and most likely be doing a lot more swimming since it would be easier for my old bones.
• I'd like to think that all my house renovations will be complete and I won't be "camping" in my own home.
• I'll still have all the Woooo Hoooo's to walk, run, cycle, swim, ski, party and share life with.
• Maybe I'll have met some really nice old single grandfather....with grand-kids that go home at the end of the day!
• I'll continue to travel to places I've never been before, I don't have a "must to go" location, but there are so many interesting spots in this old world, I may just stick a pin in a map, that's a good way to start travelling.
• Since I don't have children nor grandchildren, I'll continue to have pets, if I had the money I'd have a shelter farm for formerly abused animals ~ great and small.
• Hopefully I'll get to meet more of my blogger friends in person and share a run / event / good meal  and of course a mandatory adult BEvERage with them.
• and finally, I hope to still have my health and a strong mind to continue to live life to its fullest.

What about you? Where will you be in ten years???  I won't tag anyone, but feel free to tag yourself....and share a little bit of what you see in your crystal ball for your future.

Life's fun if you don't weaken,

Lily
