Life List Item #2

In 2007 when I was told beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had cancer (which I do not) I made a short list of three items I wanted to accomplish before I died. Here, in Wichita, KS--the most unlikely of places, I accomplished item #2. You think in life that you've got it all figured out, at least have the rough draft or outline down, but then everything is shaken up and you don't know what the hell you're doing. I thought Wichita, KS was supposed to be a pitstop on my way to actually living my life. I thought it was going to be a dead zone with scratchy towels where life was going to be devoid of growth. Instead I get life list item #2 checked off the list, AND I do it on my drug free anniversary.
You think you have the rough draft or outline down. You think you have it all figured out, but life has a way of surprising you from time to time. And for that, I am not only humbled, but overjoyed.
