I dont have dreams. I'm not talking the nighttime subconscious variety (although really...I dont have a lot of those either, or at least ones I remember). I'm talking a bucketlist. A list of things I want and desire to do before I die.

I dont have things that I plan to do. I dont have aspirations of fullfilling a want. Most times I dont dwelve that deep into me.

I know I want my children to be happy. I want them to be successful. Most of my 'dreams'...are about my kids. So does those count??

No, according to a couple of friends. Dream are selfish. It hasto be completely about me. Its not a need that NEEDS to be fullfilled...(of which I have many) but a desire to be fullfilled. I dont have those.

When talking (emailing) about this today, in response, I was told, by a friend... 'that makes me very sad'.

And just like that I came up with a dream.

I want to see the Alvin Alley Dance Troupe. Live.

They was a news segment yesterday about the troupe and I felt mesmorized watching them on TV. I"ve seen snippets here and there. But something about watching them on TV did something inside. I felt soulfull things, happy things, ALMOST made me want to learn ballet (yeah right). In thinking about the AADT today, I thought...'I need a bucketlist.'

Do you have a bucketlist?
