Working on some of these thoughts so I hope it makes sense.
A life where I have value as an individual, as a part of relationships with others, where I am not afraid for my own growth.
A life with peace and serenity and I hope with that some balance.
Great question.

I want a life that is full and fulfilling, where I love and am loved. A life where I am able to maintain balance, and most importantly, serenity.
I look forward to getting to know myself better and coming into fully accepting/believing that I am enough.

I want serenity in my life. I want healthy relationships, whether they are with my family, romantic, my children, etc. I want to be able to make it on my own financially, without relying on unhealthy people (this includes $$ from my ex-husband, which I rely on right now).

Calm. I think that is the best description of what.
I just spent 8 days driving to Cali band back with my oldest daughter. Spent almost every minute of every day together. Not a single cross word. Not a disagreement. Nothing. It was a wonderful time with someone I love dearly.
Walk back into the house today, and in less than 30 minutes there is an argument over something stupid. The TV is blaring non-stop on mind numbing shows. And she is on the phone lamenting the lack of money. It is non stop curve balls being thrown about anything problematic. I just nod and say "too bad, so sad". Well not EXACTLY that. But essentially that.
I am looking forward to the time most of my days are like the previous 8, and few of my days are like today.
Hand in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and a cool beach awaiting your toes. Soon.

Great question JRG!
Lots of laughter. Gatherings where love, cheer, and creativity are shared. Board games. Conversations filled with thought and thoughtfulness. To be free to be me without walking on egg shells ever again. To have friends that I can hang out with. Lots of Girls Giggle Nights with my sister. I'd love to share my life with a man who loves these things too (except for the Girls Giggle Nights haha). Clear minds not clouded by alcohol. And all someplace cooler than where I am, in a log cabin, lots of land, mountains and trees, and a good job.
Wow... that was some dreaming.
