What I want in my life

[eveglass]

One of my podcasts today asked the question, "What do you want in your life?" It's not about being practical, about what's possible, but about what you want. I thought about this on my way into work this morning, and here’s mine, in no particular order.

- I want to have daily conversations with smart, interesting people.
- I want to have control over my schedule.
- I want to make a difference in people’s lives.
- I want to have a husband who loves me as much as I love him, who shares my values and some of my interests, and who treats me (and others) well.
- I want wonderful, creative, kind children.
- I want a body that looks great in a midrif shirt and shorts.
- I want to teach and learn every day.
- I want time to spend with my family and my friends.
- I want to be able to take guilt-free vacations to visit my out-of-town friends and have new experiences.
- I want enough money to have a comfortable lifestyle.
- I want a closet full of clothes that make me feel like million bucks. Comfortable yet stylish.
- I want to show students how to get the most out of their education.
- I want to write, and I want an encouraging audience for my writing.
- I want to have thought-provoking conversations about everything under the sun.
- I want a home full of comfort, light, and beauty.
- I want to sing or present to cheering audiences.
- I want to host parties where I can introduce people of like interests.
- I want to spend more time playing games and less time (or no time!) playing politics.
- I want to eat food I’ve grown myself.
- I want to live near little cafes, boutiques, libraries, and farmers’ markets. I want access to the Internet.
- I want give and receive love, joy, warmth, compassion, interest, faith, and hugs… all the time.

What about you?
