#157 Explore the Routes of America’s Underground Railroad
Nina never got the opportunity to travel stops along the Underground Railroad. Have you ever done that particular trip? Did you discover anything you didn’t know before?
Heartfelt
A list item that touches your heart and evokes strong feelings – like #297 “Visiting Pearl Harbor”.
#189 Volunteer to Help Save the Environment
Nina never got the chance to volunteer for an environmental cause. What’s a cause that is important enough to you that you’ve dedicated time and energy ?
#131 Go to a Writers Retreat and Work on a Novel
Nina never got the opportunity to attend a writers retreat and get started on a novel. Have you ever taken time away to work on your next great story? Would you have any tips for aspiring writers to help them get into the groove?
#103 Give to a charity – anonymously
Nina didn’t mark anonymous donations off her list. Asking you to spill the beans if you have ever done it defeats the purpose, but have you ever worked with an organization that received a large anonymous donation?
#310 Surprise everyone
Nina was full of surprises. She had a black belt in gift giving. One Christmas she gave us a dishwasher! Can you believe it? How she sneaked it in without us knowing is still a mystery to us. I hope her friends will also add to this one!
#108 Make yourself spend a half-day at a concentration camp and swear never to forget
Nina was very aware of the world around her, and had some items on her list not indicative of her age. Do you have a list of places that you would like to visit not because of how wonderful they are, but because something quite the opposite occurred there?
#233 Conquer a fear
I don’t know what Nina was thinking when she crossed this off the list. Her friends always said she was fearless. Perhaps, she crossed it off when she held this giant tarantula or maybe when she and her brother Sandy ate these big deep fried critters off a street cart in China. Yuck! I get scared just thinking about either one of these. I bet you’ve a lot braver than I am. I’m sure that you’ve conquered fears in your life. So tell us what you did. We’d love to hear all about it!
#110 Create our Family Tree
Nina had wanted to pull together our family tree, but sadly this item was undone when she passed away. With sites like Ancestry.com and others, this is becoming easier and easier to do…have you ever mapped out your own family tree?
#085 Find a job you love
Most people have jobs, but not many people have a job they love getting up the morning and going to do. Nina wanted to be one of those fortunate few, but never marked this off her list.
How about yourself? Have that dream job now, or in the past?
#083 Spend a whole day reading a great novel
Nina read quite a bit, but never marked this one off her list. Maybe it was the caveat “spend the whole day…” that kept her from checking this off.
How about you? Ever just spent a day curled up with a good book?
