There are a number of things on my ‘Some Day …’ list. It isn’t a ‘Bucket list’, there aren’t any big and amazing things on this list, but it’s just a list of things I think I’d like to do, some day. One of the things I’d like to so some day, is to go up on a hot air balloon.
This is one that is also on other people’s Bucket Lists, so the two things, the lists, are not entirely different things, I just think the term Bucket List is a clumsy title for a list of good, or exciting things to do, some day.
It sounds like a container for waste products, not a holder for possible wonderful things to do. So the hot air balloon one is there. I’ve toyed with idea of going up on a glider. I’ve seen them up in the sky, not to high up, but floating up where birds might be. That seems lovely and peaceful, although I believe it might be a little bit more noisy than it is in my imagination.
I like birds, a lot, and the idea of sharing the sky with the birds is a think I’d like to do. some day. Being in a plane doesn’t feel anything like that, it is a totally unnatural thing to me. But I like being with birds on the ground too, so that’s what I do, I watch them as they get about at my place, which is also their place. I live here, and the birds (many of them) live here too.
I see so many sparrows, every time I look or go outside. Some people think sparrows are boring, but they have their own interesting lives, and I enjoy watching them, and the other birds that live around here, all doing their own things.
Maybe some day I’ll do some study, and learn more about these birds who live here at and around our place. Or perhaps I’ll just go on being here with them. watching them, providing water to them, enjoying them …
I love observing Nature!

I love the idea of a ‘Some Day’ list…I’ll have to make one, as I struggle to remember all the things I’d like to do! We often see hot air balloons where we live on sunny days, it must be such a beautiful perspective, but my fear of heights may prevent me from ever trying it! I love observing nature too, when I get a quiet moment.

I’m glad you like this idea, Ingrid. I always cringe a little, when the term ‘bucket list’ is mentioned. It just doesn’t sound like a good and special thing at all, especially when you think about what kind of lovely and exciting things might go on such a list.

Liked your thought.
Traveling in a plane is not flying. Only the plane flies. We are merely stationary.
Going in a hot air balloon is a great thought where you are more likely to experience the wonder of flying.
Have you tried paragliding or parasailing, which are even more close to flying?
