I have a few important things to take care of before my life ends, which I hope and assume won't happen for a long while. The list is not unmanageable.
I have a few books and a screenplay to write. I need to reread a bookcase full of my favorite novels.
I need to visit Greece and Italy for the first time, and I need to take a few big family vacations. I need to take many road trips across the beautiful island that we call home and catch many more sunrises and sunsets at the beach.
I have to go through all my journals and diaries and probably tear out a page or two. I need to make lists of who gets my jewelry and books, and write letters to leave for my kids and grandkids.
And I need to do that thing I've promised myself I would do for the past three decades of recovery, which is to establish a more consistent meditation practice. Perhaps I should start with that.
