10 things I want to do

    Wish you well. You've put some good thought into your plans.
  • AdrienneJenkins May 2, 2012 @ 8:22 am | delete
    AJ. Best of luck in achieving all the things you want to do and the hundred more that are not on this list. Thanks for always giving and giving to the Squidoo community. Your value is immeasurable and most appreciated.

    All I can say is start today. I read a quote today from Calvin Coolidge. He said. "We can not do everything at once, but we can do something at once. So grab a goal and make it happen. I know you can do it.
  • grannysage Feb 12, 2012 @ 7:24 am | delete
    Yes, yes, and yes. I encourage you in your pursuit of all of these things. Whale watching is the best therapy ever. When we lived in San Diego, every time I would get depressed my husband would say, "I'm taking you whale watching." Zazzling with your family sounds fun. I wanted to do what I finally ended up doing - living full time in an RV. So next I want to write about my adventures at Squidoo.

    It seems that there is never enough hours in the day to accomplish all the things on my "want to do" list. There is always so much that needs to be done and the want to do's get pushed to the side for a future date. One day....
  • Ruthi Oct 3, 2011 @ 6:28 pm | delete
    A great list of things you want to do! I'm not sure I could create a lens like this and hold it to only 10 things. My mind races against time with the list of my wishful todo's. Good luck on your novel, you can do it! Me too!

    Great lens, and AJ you really are a great writer!
  • TwoDogHouse Apr 16, 2011 @ 10:45 am | delete
    Mama Mia, one of my all time favorite movies. When you get the rights and do your production let me know. I'll be in the front row! Fun lens.

    really great lens
  • clouda9 Mar 11, 2011 @ 10:38 am | delete
    Well thank you AJ for featuring my photo in the opening. It was one of the moments of being in the right place at the right time with my camera.

    So interesting to know that you want to visit Mt St Helen's. The road we take home is the scenic route straight to the mountain. On my lens about Woodland WA you'll find lots of ideas for your trip and wonderful places to slumber. When you head this way drop me a line and we'll meet for coffee and a hug :) *Blessed today.
  • Travel_Tips Mar 3, 2011 @ 5:13 am | delete
    You must go on whale watching tour one day. It is amazing experience.

    I would like whale watching -- lots to provoke thought and encourage action here -- blessed by a SquidAngel!
  • Jan 10, 2011 @ 12:15 pm | delete
    I've been whale watching twice and would like to recommend that you visit Samana, Dominican Republic in the winter months to see the humpback whales in their natural calving and mating grounds. There are some very well put together tours from marine biologists that are very educational, not to mention it is a beautiful place to visit.

    This is a great lens. I really hope you manage every last thing on your list. Good luck to you, and best wishes.

    Great lens!. I just try one of the stuffs you want to do... Snorkeling in the Maldives!

    Great lens! If live in Washington state and have been to all of the places on your list. For more information about seeing the orcas in the San Juans, visit my lens:

    What a wonderful lens. I hope you get to do all of the things on your wish list, AJ! Maybe it's time I made one of these lists...
  • Ramkitten Nov 23, 2009 @ 12:45 pm | delete
    Oh, I hope you're able to do ALL of this! The first thing especially and also that novel.
  • puzzlemaker Nov 4, 2009 @ 8:57 am | delete
    Well, AJ, no I haven't made the list...yet. But now after reading your I want to make that list. Things that happened a year ago seem like they happened a week ago so I know life is flying by. I need to make sure I get in more of those "want to do" things.
  • drifter0658 Nov 2, 2009 @ 1:54 pm | delete
    Just stopped back in because I remembered about you wanting to finish your novel. Well, I remembered it as I was writing some of mine today. Geminis.....go figure.

    I always did like this list. I know you saw remnants of the destructive forces of nature at Mount St. Helen's, but you also witnessed some of the awesome self healing powers she has as well.

    Awesome lens, as always and leaving a whiff of burn-out blessing smoke.
  • JaguarJulie Aug 11, 2009 @ 5:20 pm | delete
    I have most appropriately popped in late in the evening here to offer up that 10 things to do would be a nice break in the action! Right now, I feel like my list is about a mile long.
  • ElizabethJeanAllen Aug 3, 2009 @ 12:20 pm | delete
    You have an exciting list. I hope you succeed.
    And thanks so much for the blessing on my Rufous Hummingbird Lens. I really appreciate it.

    This is a beautiful lens~ really loved it. Loved the picture of you lol :) Finish your book! Anything that's nagging at you this way, with out-of-the-blue signs from your parents has gotta be finished...I'll bet it's good. Let us know when it's finished, I'd be happy to pick up a copy :) 5 stars & faved
  • Jul 7, 2009 @ 5:23 pm | delete
    great list. good luck hope you get to do everything on your list. I went whale watching last year off Cape Cod. Had a great time.

    Congratulations on achieving Giant Squidom! Now, your next goal with be the Giant Squid 100 Club -- I think 3 months is enough time. Right? That badge looks great on your profile.
  • CCGAL Jun 27, 2009 @ 8:00 pm | delete
    I want to earn the Giant100 badge, finally start to earn some real money from my internet activities, and live part of the year in Del Norte County (which has some of the best whale watching on the coast).

    I'm a dreamer so my list is a little longer. Right now I can't look beyond my anual trip to Minnesota. I can't wait!
    Beautiful lens!

    This is a beautiful lens, a good idea. Good luck to you with all your pursuits.
    You made me think of my exchange student year in Washington state, near mount St. Helens. Thanks for that!

    good luck. this is a great lens. I pray you do recover from Otosclerosis, i went whale watching off Cape Cod, a great experiance. As for writting a novel, i've been stuck on chapter 6 for over a month now,photography takes up much more of my time. Once again, good luck.
  • poutine May 3, 2009 @ 6:51 am | delete
    So well written, you do have a talent for writing and
    should pursue it.

    Hoping that you will be recovering from Otosclerosis
    very, very soon.

    All the best.
  • OhMe May 2, 2009 @ 3:50 pm | delete
    I wish you a lot of luck reaching your goals especially recovering from Otosclerosis so you can enjoy the other 9 things. Well done!
  • kiwisoutback May 2, 2009 @ 3:08 pm | delete
    I highly recommend going for Zazzle. It's free, it's easy to use, and the actual base products are decent. I'm really lucky to be in a big whale zone on Cape Cod Bay. There's always whales that are easily visible from boats. This year in particular, they've been really active. Great work here!
  • Sojourn May 1, 2009 @ 11:30 pm | delete
    I love this lens. Visited a few 10 things I want to do lenses today and I think they're the most fun to read. I admire your goals and, particularly, how often you mentioned doing things with your family. Very sweet!
  • Vladi Apr 30, 2009 @ 4:03 am | delete
    I would like to join you in the Maldives. The fish look good.
  • sandyspider Apr 28, 2009 @ 10:51 pm | delete
    Very nice "me" lens. I like all the things you want to do. I would love to go whale watching myself. and you really need to go to Washington State. It might rain there a lot, but it is beautiful country. I know, I use to live there. I'm surprise, I thought you had more lenses. Good luck.
  • Jack2205 Apr 28, 2009 @ 9:03 pm | delete
    Very good lens, AJ. I hope you get to do all of these things.
  • Apr 28, 2009 @ 5:41 pm | delete
    Brilliant! Loved it! Inspired me! Thanks!
  • Janiece Apr 28, 2009 @ 3:12 pm | delete
    Very nice lens, AJ! I love the posters you selected! My favorite is the one of the six whales swimming together! 5's.
  • Squidster Apr 28, 2009 @ 6:11 am | delete
    Wow, you have quite a list! I like that you gave yourself a time frame of 5 years instead of just saying "...some day". Now all you need to do is cross off 2 items from your list each year. :D
    You go girl! I'll start you off with a SquidAngel blessing. ^:)^
  • Heather426 Apr 28, 2009 @ 1:01 am | delete
    Great lens, and I hope you get to do all of them.
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Apr 25, 2009 @ 7:44 pm | delete
    Keep on Juggling, AJ...what a beautiful lens. Please let me know when you get around to doing those things...I want to see you in Mamma Mia, I'll watch whales with you, read your novel and we can even exchange Zazzle stories. I've been talking to my son about using his photos on Zazzle but we haven't gotten any further than idle talk. (You're way ahead of us.)

    Lovely.
    Blessed.

    Quite a lovely lens and amazing 10 things you want to do! I'd never sat down and put together such a list as I'm not sure if I could pick just 10. Good luck with achieving each and every one of these.

    Such wonderful good luck is wished for you by me, in reaching every single one of your goals. You will do it! And I bet your are not the only angel in therapy, You are just the one getting the answers you need. Congratulations for that too.

  • poddys Apr 24, 2009 @ 8:09 am | delete
    Yet another classic lens AJ, 5***** well deserved. If you write a book I would buy it, I love the way that you write. The words just flow and I can identify with what you write.

    I love scuba diving, it is one of the most amazing experiences. I went whale watching off Maine, it is an experience not to be missed. For me travel is on my list of things to do, there are so many places that I would love to visit, or re-visit.

    Most of all right now, I would love to be a successful writer. It would be so nice to not have to get another office job, where the hours and stress only increase, and the pay decreases as I get older. It's time for some freedom, and the choice of what I work on each day to make some money. Just need to find that niche. Still working on it...

    Believe in your dreams, I hope you achieve them all AJ, especially getting cured. Any long term illness drains the quality out of living.
  • Rajays Apr 24, 2009 @ 8:00 am | delete
    Love this lens AJ. You have done such a wonderful job here. Makes ME want to do Your 10 things. The pics are also just amazing. :)

  • seegreen Apr 24, 2009 @ 4:33 am | delete
    I love getting to know people better. You are a great writer, I can see that from your lenses so it wont surprise me when you start to make a living from it. When I see your name in lights and on a book cover I will now be able to say "I told you so!"
  • Jimmie Apr 24, 2009 @ 4:29 am | delete
    What a great list! I hope you accomplish them all!
  • C-Joy Apr 23, 2009 @ 8:46 pm | delete
    I think I would have a hard time narrowing it down to 10 - but I am inspired to do my own list now:)

    Wonderful lens topic. Pretty ambitious goals for 5 years, best of luck getting there.
  • drifter0658 Apr 23, 2009 @ 5:02 pm | delete
    Very cool! Do I have ten things? Oh yes, but I'll just share one or two...
    1) Motorcycle to the West Coast
    2) Attend the New Orleans Heritage Festival (not interested in Mardi Gras)
    3) Write for a living (at least sell SOMETHING)

    Okay...so that was three.

    Thanks!

    Great lens! Your pictures are great. I somewhat understand about the condition. I suffer from fibromyalgia which makes me really sore and really tired among other things. It's a drag, but at least it doesn't stop me from Squidooing!!! :) It is hard living with a condition that changes your lifestyle. Whale watching would be so cool!!! I doubt I would get to do it anytime soon, but that is something I would love to good. Good luck on your goals. I truly hope you can achieve them.

    Blimey O Reilly, I'm first for a change. Great lens and don't worry to much about the sickness AJ. Believe me I have some idea of what you are going through on all counts. Having said that I wish I could find something to do and that's the top of my priorities at the moment. Nothing is working for me at the moment and the constant waiting is what gets to me most. Have a lovely evening.
