Hello all once again, it has been a while. There's no doubt that the last couple of months have been horrible for me, and my family. Each time we thought life couldn't get any worse...But, my Mum is now definitely getting better and stronger and she is fighting constantly for the sake for herself, but especially for me and my brother, and our beautiful partners.
Life does naturally go on, and regardless of the sadness I feel, I've come to the conclusion that 'I've started, so I'll finish' - little Mastermind reference there! That is a bucket list challenge ticked off many moons ago - Mastermind semi-finalist 2006 no less!
The whole point of me starting this 50 Before 50 List was because I realised we only have one life, this is it, why wait around for things to happen, go out and do stuff and try stuff and live life to the full NOW! Don't put anything off, none of us know what's awaiting for us around the corner. It's an exceedingly self indulgent thing to do but is that really such a bad thing? My Dad, who I will never ever ever stop missing, totally got this whole idea and loved the fact that I was trying out so many new things. I therefore decided that I truly owe it to him to keep going. So, before the horrible stuff happened I had already completed 29 individual items and had made a good start on 9 monthly and long term ongoing challenges. I am a wee bit behind on some of these but nothing that I can't catch up on. I will still have 13 individual one challenges to do - I'm mostly sticking to the original list but I have made some changes. Some things under current circumstances just don't feel right anymore. I've decided to be fairly open minded about what is left to do but I have locked down 12 items. So, without further ado, I will be undertaking the following:
Snowboarding
Pimp My Zimmer - decorate and personalise wee Joycies zimmer frame
Canoeing Down the River Wye
St Davids Day 5k Run
Velindre 5k Run
Horseride Along A Beach
Drive a Tank
Crochet an Owl or Make Felt Penguins
Feed a Lamb
Pizza Run 5k
Caerphilly 10k
Wing Walk!
The last item I haven't decided on. I'd made a start on 50 Ways to Say Hello and Cheers in different languages and I'd also promised my brother to do a comedy stand up routine but I don't feel very funny at the moment. There was also the challenge to play My Way on five different instruments. I don't know, it's 'my list, my rules' so I will basically make it up as I go along.
I thank you in any case for reading this. If you read this, you get it, and I hopefully haven't bored the crap out of you. Well not just yet. It's roughly 16 weeks now till I actually turn 50 so I've got a lot of things to do, but that's no bad thing actually. Hope to speak to you again soon. Love, Lesley
