The daily prompt asks – What do you wish you could do more every day?
I thought I remembered this question from a while back and found my answers (in the first batch below) to be pretty similar to what I would still pick today a few years later into retirement.
- I wish to spend more time in my better half’s arms.
- I wish to get outside more each day.
- I wish to see or hear my kids and grandkids every day.
- I wish I could sleep more each day and get more done.
- I wish I could shoot and edit a few hundred more images.
- I wish I could see or talk to my close friends more.
- I wish to be in my workroom and more sawdust on the floor indicating more progress.
- I wish I could help a few more people each day.
- I wish I could write more each day.
- I wish I could play a sport or exercise each day.
- I wish I could listen to more music.
- I wish to be in my Miata with the top down more.
- I wish to spend more time watching the sun rise and set.
- I wish to feel sand between my toes and hear the sound of waves hitting the shore more.
I’ll update and add a few things to the old list.
- I wish I could spend more time painting
- I wish I could read more.
- I wish I could utilize my printer more and make that thing run like a press.
- I wish I had the time to observe and interact with nature more.
- I wish I had more appreciation for each day.

Nice read. The list is not just “things you wish for”. I regard it as a blueprint for a meaningful, joyful, and intentional day-to-day life.
