"Bucket-Wish List"

Thank you, but, even if that doesn't happen, I suddenly know that there are
wonderful things out there for everyone. On this day, valentines day I wish
all of you who have a spouse (pain that they can sometimes be), significant
other, or partner a wonderful day and here is a poem/song I love.

"They say there's a tree in the forest,
A tree that will give you a sign;
Come along with me to the Sweetheart Tree,
Come and carve your name next to mine.
They say if you kiss the right sweetheart,
The one you've been waiting for,
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore."

'The Sweetheart Tree,' Words & Music by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini;
recorded by Henry Mancini, 1965. From the movie 'The Great Race

I got to thinking about the "Bucket List" or as she called it, "Wish
List".

Well, on my "Bucket List" is first to find someone to do all the things I
want to do with. Someone who can see me as a person who happens to be
Blind, not a Blind person (I have some useable vision but not a lot).
This
person has to be a kind person who will not yell if you accidentally
spill something or break something by knocking it off.

I would like to travel, not sure about the flying part but, if I had a
hand to hold could manage that.

There was a TV programme here in the UK which challenged people's normal
view of "elderly" sight impaired people, and anti-social youths.

Basically, a sight-impaired blind woman was sent on a trip around Italy
with a youth who had "problems", and was descending into a life of crime.
He was amazing, having been given responsibility, and learned how to
respect others; she learned that she could do lots of things without
assistance, and had an incredible increase in her self-confidence.


Come to think of it, if I found the first thing on my list, none of the
other would be important. Whatever happened would have to be wonderful.

Fact is, I do have a list which I just tore up because without out the
first part, none of the rest would be worth doing.

This isn't a sad thing, just suddenly a true thing.


I think that's known as having an epiphany. Good luck in finding a
partner.
