> I don't know if this a good topic or not. But how do you see yourself once life becomes 'normal'. Or maybe 'happy' is a better word.
I basically have ONE thing:
Being in a relationship, and then married, YESTERDAY.
Was married for 31 years to an abuser, finally got the courage to get a divorce; alone now for the 1st time in forever; just 5 months, but I am very resilient (good thing, LOL); if not for my faith, wicked wit, and twisted-sister, sense of humor
I might be drooling in a corner somewhere!
Life is short (I know it is a cliche, but so true!!)
As one of my (wise) friends sez: It's not that serious!!
I agree; I try to take my own advice, and be gentle with myself.
I trained myself to NEVER put myself down (no matter how I feel like jumping in to the "wish I could lose weight, blah, blah; whatever negativity someone is discussing).
Just think if we COULD live each day as if it were our last, because someday.....it WILL be. What would we do right now, if we knew we had x amount of time to live? I bet our lives would change drastically.
I'd have dust bunnies the size (wait for it, LOL
of TEXAS!!!!
Hugs, Ally

> Here's mine, I see myself:
> - with a clean house (and car)!!!
> - having friends (IRL)
> - not afraid to invite people over (even if my house was clean I wouldn't be able to do that now)
> - having some healthy things to do after work, as opposed to sitting on the couch from 4pm-10pm getting drunk.
> - DATING!!!!!
> - not being over weight. I don't have to be skinny, just a good old size 12 would make me happy (I'm a 16 now).
> - dealing with problems without them consuming me and making me an emotional wreck.
> - doing the things I avoid for no reason what so ever, like washing my makeup off at night, doing laundry, picking up after myself ect.
