How do we know? Things are a surprise always. I like surprises

I always think about traveling, to find out what's going on in the world

I am not sure

I can't say anything

I don't even know, sky's the limit. I don't want to put a cap on it

I don’t have the faintest clue. This is next. We wanted to get out of an old house and into a new one. This is the next.

I don't know

I don't know but it's going to be pure adventure (if I have anything to do with it that is)

I don't know what's going to happen next for me. But literally I'm going to go to my friends house and have lunch with my Dad

I don’t know what’s next. Maybe retiring and having more time to do what you feel like doing when you want to.

I don't know, I take it one day at a time

I don't know, I think that's what's exciting. For me its always my next strip. It's so incredible to be able to do that

I don't know, my whole life is improv. Continuing on the way of improv. More of that creation

I don't know, no idea

I don't really have anything. I don't want to be part of the race/ladder others are on. I love consistency, community, more of the same. Trying to get better and grow to help others

I don't really know

I don't really plan. Well my grandchild, really- new things, everyday has something new. A bit of travel, I've retired

I don't really understand that

I don't think about it. It's too late

I grew up in Seattle and I love it but I want to try living somewhere else for a while, moving to a new city

I guess, I just want to see what happens

I have many things I want to do. Getting our yard nice

I hope it's having my girlfriend moving to the UK. I hope it's seeing more of my family and friends. I hope its increasing the variety of things I photograph. However ultimately I have no idea because I don't know what's coming up next

I hope many years of happiness and good health. Health is so paramount to our well being and happiness

I hope my son becomes more responsible

I hope that I'll be further along my journey to just be generally7 content, whatever that means

I just started my next stage (divorce). I started modeling last year, I want to express my sexuality and femininity which has been suppressed for a long time

I must get both my sons married, that is the utmost concern. That is next

I not know

I really don't have the foggiest

I really don't know. Anything is possible

I really don't know. I know I'm going to die but in the meantime, I  really don't know

I strive to know more, learn, get information. So I can become more educated in a general sense

I think about it all the time but I don't have an answer

I would hope growth, moving forward in the various fields I've involved myself in

I would like to write and help people make decisions in uncertainty, to create a path. To use my background in applied mathematics and history, to teach that there are biases, to convey through the lessons of history and reduce uncertainty . To show that the differences in religion are amazingly similar.

I would say continuing the work/life balance struggle

I'd like the kids to be more independent so I can have more free time

I'm hoping I can see my grandkids grow up and get married

I'm hoping to move to Miami actually

I'm still trying to figure it out. I still have hopes and dreams to be a successful entrepreneur

That's an uncertainty, it's a good question. But it's not stressful. Stuff will happen, it will be OK. What's next is not a burden

That's the great mystery
