Where am I? Where do I want to go? How will I get there? How do I measure my goals? I am O.K. with where I am at this point, simply because you can not plan life. I can pay my bills, I have a great family, and I am in a position where I can return to school to be trained for a second career. So I guess that is where I am. Returning to school for a new career is where I want to go and how I plan to get there. That is pretty much it. I am used to moving around a bit so that is as far ahead as I can plan. I do not really understand the phrase "how do you measure your goals" I have them and I work toward them same as anyone else. As for if they are long term or short term, lets just say everything is both long term and short term for me. I moved to Ashland less than two months ago thinking that I was here for at least three years. Looks like I will be moving back to Louisville before Christmas. So I do not really plan long term, I like to just keep my options open and see where life takes me. Working toward a second career is a long term goal by simply putting me one step closer to retirement.
The lessons I could teach someone else from my life is to just do the things you want to do. I want to travel, then I make sure to save for it because it is a priority for me. Having a new car or a large house not so much. I think I am happy because I do not let things hold me back. When I lay dying, I will not remember the car but I will remember the expierence I had while seeing the world. Another lession I could teach someone else is how to say no. Just because someone wants you to do something is not a good reason to do it. If feels funny saying no the first few times but after that man is it liberating. In my past when I was younger I never traveled anywhere because I didnt have anyone to go with me. One day I realized that I wasn't getting any younger and life was passing me by that was when I decided to do what I wanted and go where I wanted, and learn to say no.
I devote myself to my and my husbands combined adventrues. There is no way I can list them all because every day is an adventrue. Do not get me wrong we all have bumps in the road, but I choose not to get to hung up on them because I can not change it anyway. Am I a change artist or a change junkie? I dont know but I am surrounded by change and I must like it.
