Wish list

I am hoping to have a job by the end of the week. This has been a punishing year for me, but I am trying to get out of the funk. I decided to make a sort of bucket list- only these are the things I want to do before I hit 40-- so that's 7 years (for those who are mathematically impaired).

1. Girls vacation- Destination unknown-- could be New Orleans, Vegas, New York-- doesn't really matter. I want to get a really tight group of girls together to have a good time, no kids and no husbands-- no responsibility!

2. Fall in love-be fallen in love with- preferably with and by the same person- and stay that way.

3. Pay off student loan debt (this is a far cry, but I am putting it on there anyhow!!)

4. Find peace and stability in my life.

5. Find my ego: I may be confident at work, but I am a doormat elsewhere. I have to learn to understand that people might actually like me, for who I am and that I don't have to feel ashamed to ask for a ride to the airport.

6. Visit a foreign country I have never been too-- England and Italy are tops on the list.

7. Volunteer significant amounts of time somewhere- doing something more important that the daily grind!

8. Be a better friend to all my friends, be a better sister, lover, daughter...just be better to people I know, helping me to know more people.

9. Quit making lists of things to do and do them!


I am hoping that this will be a new beginning for me. I need to have positive influence in my life- I need to learn to love myself.....if only I knew how to do that!
