I seem to be in a list making mood lately.

Things everyone should do once in life.

1. Stand in the ocean surf, during an incoming storm, when the wind is high and is whipping the waves higher and higher, and facing the waves, let one crash over you while screaming at the top of your lungs, like you are daring the sea to come get you.

2. Pay someone else's toll at the tollbooth without looking to see whose toll you are paying.

3. Everytime you take a trip, stop at a church, a cathedral and just....reflect.

4. Wish upon a shooting star.

5. Pack up a picnic, and climb to the top of a waterfall. Have lunch. Climb down. Maybe take a nap.

6. Get off the trail. Make your own. Play in the woods.

7. Throw away a can full of paint in your regular trash without filling it with cat litter. C'mon. Be a rebel. I dare you.

8. Take a two hour lunch, and go home, and take a nap.

9. Marvel at the absolute work of art that is your body. Even if you resemble a Picasso rather than a Sargent. Or maybe a Dali. Or a Titian. Your pick.
