This was a challenge. In a society dead set on materialistic things, it's hard to distinguish between what you need and what you want. This assignment really makes you ask what is selfish and what is not. A lesson my young cousin Ryan needs to figure out. I tried my best not to sound too selfish. Humilty and grace are hard concepts to accomplish in life.
1. A great attitude. I need to be happy and content with what I have. I also need have a more cheerful out look on life.
2. A better paying job. This one just isn’t going to cut it in 3 years time.
3. A bachelor’s degree. See number 2.
4. A hug. There has been a hug/snuggle deficit recently and we must get out of the red.
5. A newer car. I drive a 1998 Nissan Maxima and the thing is just about ca-put. I don’t need anything fancy; just a four door sedan with low travel mileage and great gas mileage.
6. A 30lb weight loss. According to all the BMI charts and all the world’s doctors, I’m “obese.” I don’t feel obese and I don’t even think I look that bad but regardless, for my future and my family’s future, I need to drop a few.
7. A good marriage. Marriage is work and I need to be the best possible partner that I can be.
8. A time-out. I’m stressed. I feel it. Yesterday, I was so worried about wedding planning that I could barely eat because my stomach was so upset. My thoughts are clouded and my body is sluggish because of the stress.
9. A fresher approach to work. I can’t focus on work because it bores me hence the blog posts.
10. A better connection with all of my friends. I’ve lost touch over the years. Everyone is busy with their own lives including myself but this is no excuse not to have meaningful relationships with those who love and support you. I need those connections because the years are progressing and I need to be grounded by my girls.
I want…
1. … to be finished with this wedding. Gah! Is this day EVER going to get here?!
2. … to eat as many indulgent foods WITHOUT gaining any weight.
3. … to enjoy my job but I just can’t.
4. … to travel to Europe especially Germany and Austria.
5. … to travel the U.S. as well.
6. … more vacation time to spend with Dave and my family.
7. … to not worry so much.
8. … to be a racecar driver.
9. … another puppy for Kaitie.
10. … a happy healthy family with Dave.
11. ... (I added one) a bigger house in Hot Springs.
