I Have Never

I have never been on a safari.
never been on an Alaskan cruise.
never been bungee jumping
never got shot in a poker game
never been on a lion hunt
never driven a car in the Indy500
never piloted a 747
but I can still die happy
because I never wanted to do any of these things

Marvelous! I think most of us could make a similar lists of things that are definitely not on our bucket list! Incidentally, I DID drive around the track at the Indy 500! I have been on an African safari, too, but you haven't missed a thing by not having these experiences! Think of the wonderful things you have done that I only dreamed about.

I have to admit the most marvelous things I ever did had to do with spending all day long with a baby or a toddler.
