what if you could do anything?


What if you could do anything?



What if money were no object? If there were no responsibilities? Would you try to become famous? Learn to fly? Lose a few pounds?
Go on a special hunt?


Buy that motorcycle?





Travel around the world? Start a business? Stop the war? Build a dream house? Recover from an addiction? Fix the economy?

Feed the starving?






 

Save lives with super powers? Cure a previously incurable disease? Find that person who knows exactly how to love you without ever being told?
I think about this all the time. What would I do? I would do all the things I listed above. Constantly dreaming yet drowned by reality. I’ve gotten to do a lot of things people told me I would never be able to do.
I hope to make a new list and start completing it. My life has followed an order of my accomplishments or achievements that made me feel just as much complete as empty. Because by the time I finished whatever it was I started and reached that place I sure didn’t feel the way I thought I would.


My first dream is to break free of my regular life. I don’t know who will be in the passengers seat. But someday I just want to jump in my car and drive to California.

To smell the ocean and feel the burning sand on my feet. Then slide down a mountain the same day. I want to do it on a whim. For instance: Get done with a day at work, jump in the car start heading for home, but have the power to turn that car west and have enough jones to get there. I used to have this immeasurable zest for life and unlimited passion for experiences that has been on the back burner for too long.



My other dream, that I don’t know how to start,
that I would do. Is find a way for lost souls to unite.
I don’t know how I would do it? if I try this last dream and it fails what will I be left with in the end? I sometimes wonder if I am better off never knowing.

What would you do, if you could do anything?

  1. I would call Dave and buy the 2001 Suzuki gz 250 with 2500 miles. Head to the casino and win lots of $$, Go pick up Roxi and take a littl spontaneous trip to Vegas. The only thing we would bring would be our debit cards.
    Guess who I am??

  3. I would pack up the seven sassies and take them to far away lands to experience the finest smoky treats from the most amazing places. We would belly laugh on highest mountains.
    Roll down the greenest hills. Scale the artic glaciers and swim in the bluest of oceans.
    And at the end of the day we would YELL !

  6. Bubbie Nosh here,
    Oi Vai, you sure do have me in a quagmire right about now. If I could do anything? Gvelt! Well let me see. First of all I would take that fahklumpt Hyrem and his size 14 Gucci loafers to the very best fancy schmancy Kosher Glatt brunch in the city. Then I would drive over in my Canary yellow Coup De Ville, and pick up my very best shiksa friend Lizbeth Ann. My hamisch friend and I would then drive to Macy's and shlep home a couple expensive dresses,(on sale of course) then go dancing at the country club. It would be a beautiful day.
