Wish

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.

Sleep

What do you wish you could do more every day? – The daily writing prompt asks.

I wish I could sleep more every day. Those years of night shift have screwed with my internal clock. I just don’t sleep well.

Sorry about the late posting of this, I’m still fighting the flu.

The trouble with these questions is you always think of 10 things later, you wish you added to the list.
