It’s Wishful Wednesday again and this week my wish is something that I have always wanted to do and that is surf. I know that sounds crazy to be forty years old and want to learn to surf. Not to mention that I live so far inland that it would never happen. I have never learned to do anything like that before and it is on my bucket list.
At some point int he next two years I am going to tackle several of the items on my bucket list. I am telling you now that surfing is going to be one of those things. Some time in the future you will find that surfing will move forma Wishful Wednesday post to an “I did it” post.
I have no doubt that this will be a I got to stand once and got someone to take a picture sort of thing. I don’t expect to e good at it or even be okay at it. I have a bad ankle which leaves my balance off in a big way. I can’t do a lot of things because of it. Surfing is one of those things but I intend to try. After all my father told me that can’t never could. So I have to try.
Is there anything that you want to try to do that you haven’t yet?
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.
Sarah Hayes says
thats an awesome goal to have. I wish I knew how to surf. I hope you are able to mark that off your list in the next few years
Rita says
That you Sarah, I’m certainly going to do my best.
Donna B says
I hope you get the chance to learn to surf. If I were younger I’d love to join you in this great addition to your bucket list, however age and health wouldn’t allow it to me on mine. I have to stay with sit down things like winning $500. in a giveaway. 🙂
Rita says
I bet you would be great at it. I’m 40 and while that may be older than most learning to surf I could care less. I only need to be able to say I tried.
Rosie says
It may sound silly, but I always wanted to be able to do a cartwheel. I wanted to be able to do it just for fun, and also to try out for cheerleading. I tried many years and my dad tried an entire summer to teach me, and decades later, I would love that free feeling of exhilaration! So I can relate to wanting to be able to surf!
Rita says
That doesn’t sound silly at all. I can’t do cartwheels now but I can remember doing them in my youth. I hope that you get the chance to experience it.
Natalie says
I would love to learn how to surf! I have also been wanting to learn how to rock climb, but I am intimidated!
Rita says
I haven’t done any heavy rock climbing but have done a little in my youth. It is awesome and if you do it at the right time of day it can be breathtaking.
ellen beck says
I hope you get to surf, I havent ever done it either! I would one day to go on an airplane. Nope, I have never ever flown. I think it would be so exciting to be that high up in the air. I would love to go in a smaller plane for a better experience.
Rita says
I have been on a plane (both large and small) but if you want the best experience of being in the air then I suggest a helicopter ride. There is nothing like it.
Melissa Storms says
Actually, i want to take some classes to learn how to draw. I have the want but not the know how to draw.
Rita says
I can’t draw either. You should take the classes, you never know you may be great at it.
Angela Jones says
I love this wishful Wednesday! I have never tried surfing, as I would think you would need great balance and tight core muscles, both of which I lack! But when I see it on tv it sure does look like it would be a rush! And something amazing to accomplish one day. Good luck to you!
Rita says
I don’t have either of those either but I’m going to give a go if I get the chance. The worst that can happen is I fall and maybe drown but I plan on making sure I’m doing it with someone I trust.
Melissa F says
I want to go and work in Nepal as a Nurse Pracitioner
Rita says
That sounds so awesome! I hope that you get to do it.
Aneta Bak says
I’ve been dying to try out surfing, unfortunately I don’t live anywhere close to water 🙁
Good luck 🙂
Rita says
Thanks Aneta! I don’t live near water either but am planning on visiting somewhere soon.
Thibaut VE says
Surfing is awesome!! Try a longboard and small waves and you will get along well!
Rita says
Thanks for the information! I certainly will keep that in mind.
Rose Santuci-Sofranko says
Oh gosh, I’d be afraid to surf….but I WISH I could see an ocean…I never have! Hope this is the year. God bless.
