Dreams................

"If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again." - Flavia Weedn


I found that quote at Renee gets fit blog today and its such a coincidence because a friend told me today to sit down and do a list of my dreams and what i want for myself which is something i used to do.
I had lists all over my house reminding me so that i can remain focused on my dreams but a time ago those lists used to make me so sad that i threw them away but you know what not because my life is not turning out the way i wanted it to these days doesn't mean i have to give up .....

This is what i wrote down so far...

1. Lose weight and get fit
2. Learn to swim
3. Get my driver's licence once and for all
4. Start back sewing i don't know why i stopped
5.Become a vegetarian( this will be easier to do now)
6. Teach son to eat with chop sticks and to write letters and everything else i know
7.Gardening.... organize herb garden in back yard and put more plants indoors
8.Find me
9. Be Happy again somehow
10.Meet new people
11.Live in a foreign country (NY) for at least a year
12. Save for my dream home (may take longer than i thought)
13. Learn french and visit France
14. Get Engineering Degree ( one year down two to go)
15. Do more traveling especially with son its a form of education.
16. Adopt little girl name her Petal or Essence
17. Start back reading not just chick lit but serious books autobiographies
18.Sprituality
19.Get a laptop ( want to be a serious blogger)
20.Retire early so that i can give back while i am young enough to do so.

Go to www.43things.com and copy the list to that. See how many others want to do the exact same things you want to do.

glad to see you back at ms. hope you continue with the "serious blogger" dream 'cause you have always been one of my favourite reads!

and as for the veggie thing, dunno if they have soy substitute products in tnt, but these are amazing and you can really season them up to make them taste like meat...
