I’ve been amused by some bloggers’ project to write about 22 “things-ive-never-done”. 22? beg your pardon, too much, how about 4?
1 – Visit Cuba
2 – Skydiving over Australia
3 – Using a submarine
4 – Shipping to Antarctis

Maybe I should try to organize that. The sense of the project seems to be, to make us curious to step into future by supporting a consistent positive motivation as part of our character. But to support this it is also a good strategy, to remember 4 (22?) things we’ve done. For example:
1 – I climbed a mountain to watch hang gliders
2 – I sat on the top of my Volkswagen
3 – I took a heli for a flight over Manhattan
4 – I played Banjo with eyes closed

I loved watching you play the banjo. It’s obvious that you truly enjoy playing. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in all this stuff I think I gotta do I don’t take enough time to do the things that give me nothing but pure joy.

1 thing I’ve never done? Been to Germany, My husband and I want to honeymoon there, we never had a honeymoon because we are holding out to go to Germany, he has been there but not me, he would live there if I said yes, he misses it so much.
1Thing I have done? Made a friend a half a world away. Blessing to you. -watw

Good idea to trim the list from 22, down to 4! And, going one step further to state 4 things that you have done is truly a positive twist. Very good post FrizzText!

I think your humorous approach is great. I have done one of the things you haven’t done and one of the things you have. The Manhattan skyline picture is quite stunning, obviously shot some years ago. I like the brownish tint in the photograph and the graphic quality in general.

You are absolutely right. Sometimes, we tend to lack appreciation for what we have done and what we have accomplished. Perhaps, it’s our desire to constantly do something. It is good to have things we would like to do in order to forge forward with enthusiasm; but, enjoying what we have done keeps us grounded and in prospective.
Nice write …

to support self-confidence / self-esteem
sometimes it is important to remember
what we reached, not overwhelmed …
