Memoir Monday #30 How do you plan to spend the next decade of your life?

This is a good question because I have not thought that this past year would be as it is. I thought I would still be fishing for the next 10 years but that has not been the case. Maybe by then, I will have had my hand fixed and I will be back fishing. That would be nice.

I am just putting this out there for the universe to hear, but I would love to win the lottery and travel across America, I want to go to all the places where I can dig in the ground and find gemstones or fossils. I would also like to dig here on my property and try to find old bottles, I think I know where an old outhouse used to be but I need a backhoe to dig it, plus some trees removed. But first, I need to start playing the lottery, you can not win if you don't play.

In the next ten years, I hope I do not need to go to any more doctors. I hope to be living pain free. If I do not win the lottery or get to travel America and I still have back pain, I see myself still living where I am today, still pulling weeds and keeping the jungle from taking over, and playing with my flower gardens, bananas and pineapple plants.

I hope the crack in the frame of my old truck does not get any bigger because In ten years, I would still like to be driving it. It is a 1997 and has a 7.3 diesel engine with only 150k miles. I think I can get more than ten years out of the engine, but the body is what I worry about.

I don't want to say I never will but I doubt that I will ever camp on one of our islands again. I had a lot of years camping on them, made a lot of memoirs and enjoyed every minute of it.

In ten years I will still be trimming this vine, If I do not keep this plant trimmed back in ten tears it will cover our entire 2 acres, house and all.
