As I write this, I am laying here flat on my back with my laptop balanced on my legs. This evening I just bent over and my back went BAM – so I am a little bit immobile!

It’s so frustrating when something like this happens, isn’t it? I mean, I *just* finished my first week back on the C25K running plan, have started swimming, and it’s coming into the busiest time of the year for my business.

Frack.

But enough of my whinging. I only mention it because hey, sometimes things don’t go according to plan, but what can you do?

How about indulging in some deep thinking – or at least some dreaming?

I’m currently working on my 40 before 40 list, because I was too slack to get a 30 before 30 done, and I figure that this way, I’ll have 9 1/2 years to get it all achieved.

40 things seems a lot – I’m only 1/2 way through my list so far, because I’ve run out of things that I deem important enough to put on there. Perhaps I need to lower my bar. Or get more creative!

So I thought – why not take another tack and simplify the question? Therefore:

What’s one thing you’ve yet to do in your life that you know you must absolutely do before you die?

I threw this out on twitter last night, and here were some of the responses I got…

Take my mother to England and drive around the countryside with her looking at old houses, castles, and boats - @furry_jen

White christmas…. - @katrinahigham

Travel 🙂 - @kir_s_ten

Haha yeah – my list is too long but! Probably the one thing I have to do is one day be a dad 🙂 - @entreprenerds

Have a happy and healthy family of my own – @trudyflorence

Sky diving! - @studiolakshmi

Go to London - @Blackcurrantpix

I love that these answers all seem to revolve around experiences, rather than accumulating or producing things. Travel, family, excitement.

Experiences, not things.

Interesting, right?

So – what’s my one thing?

I want to see it snow. I have stood on snow twice in my life (only once that I remember) but I have never seen snow falling. That is top of the list for me, I think.

What’s yours?
