In Honour of The Great and Never Late Prof Philo….My Reverse Bucket List

Well if I was any good at this I could cross reference Prof or Mr Philos WordPress Account which is well worth a gander and a digest,but dear readers I’m sure you can find him for yourselves.

Philo has laid a soft velvet glove on the ground in front of me …(As opposed to throwing down a heavy leather  gauntlet which could cause someone an injury …he is after all a very thoughtful soul)

Reverse Bucket List

1)Sitting through many job interviews and enjoying my successes and rationalizing my failures.If it’s right for you then it was meant to be.Thankfully, I’ve earned enough in the jobs I did get to keep my head above water and I feel that is a success.

2)Learning to swim,I was probably ten when with a bunch of other school children I was taught to swim.It did not come naturally to me. However,I fooled the teacher just by staying afloat.So I was not put in the remedial group in the shallow end.I never mastered any strokes and was more of a dirigible with four limbs then a dolphin.I envied the girl who could do the breast stroke faultlessly,she did swim  like a dolphin.

3)Being good with animals,I want to understand animals( both wild and domestic) and their  point of view and I have had some very good interactions This is a very exciting achievement and one I am extremely satisfied with myself about .

4)Keeping up with washing dishes,this is very rewarding and took a bit of trial and error and time to master I could do with a more consistent effort,but I would say,I feel in control of this area of my life.

Four is my lucky number ,so I’ll stop there.

Thank you Philo for your prompt, may you sleep well and loads of genuine followers find your link.

Namaste.
