What are you waiting for?

I turned 50 a few weeks ago.

Last spring I decided this would be a year of trying new things. 

The celebration began in July when my son and I took a cooking class -- great fun!  It's the second one we've taken together, and hopefully not the last.

Garvin, making the chapatis for our Indian meal.

Love that my son wanted to do this!!!

Signed up for a watercolor class, it was cancelled, so I bought a Groupon to paint at a local art studio with a guided tutorial, and some wine. I'm thinking the wine will be a huge help! That happens next week.

In two weeks my sisters and I head home to visit our mother. While there, my mom and I are taking a cooking class as another birthday treat.

There's a drop-in ballet class to attend on Mondays. Haven't been in a ballet class since I was 10.  I don't remember it as a positive experience, but something is drawing me back. Might be November before I have a free Monday, but it just extends the celebration.

That leaves paragliding.  Wanted to try it for years.  What have I been waiting for?  No idea.

I've just researched the cost and what's involved.  Now all that's left is to schedule it -- no small feat with a teenage son who has activities every weekend. But taking a step I've been thinking about for 6 months feels like great progress!

Exciting -- these new forays.  I guess it's a Bucket List, though I don't have one written down. Maybe that's next.

What's on your list or in the back of your mind? What's a step you can take today to start the process? Join me in doing something you've always wanted.  It's a blast!

I'll post photos after the paragliding.  

Let me know what's on your list!!!
