OMG!! I don't know!! I used to have all kinds of dreams and aspirations, but life has been so chaotic lately I really haven't thought about me and what I might want.

I have a dream. I am 52. I divorced my addict a year ago this month.
I can't tell you the horror I have gone through because of him adding me to ALL of his credit cards as an authorized user. One even had me as a joint account holder. None of which I signed for or asked for.
It has been a nightmare disputing all this mess. But, slowly it is coming off.
The biggest one was 27 thousand dollars!
The next one I have to tackle is 11,500. This is a card from the place I bank!
So, I hafta move all my money out of that bank first, then dispute it.

But, once it's done, my dream is to own a home of my own. A place where I can never be thrown out or have to leave because of a person in my life.
MINE! ALL MINE!
That is my dream.

I've been slowing pursuing and achieving some of my dreams. Wanting a special place that I could retreat to and appreciate the beauty of nature year round was one...and it happened this Spring. I know I never would have pursued that before recovery. I too want to write...I know what it will be, I'm not quite ready to share it yet but I hope it can be something that gives back (why am I not ready to share?...Is it doubt in the potential of the dream; my potential...hmmm, stream of consciousness thinking here, but I have to think more on this one)

Another dream I have is to hike the full Appalachian Trail

To continue to travel...I'm fortunate that I have seen many wonder places and met such amazing people. (Including our wonderful Cece!) I would really like to take whatever time it takes and travel the US and Canada by car...just wandering and stopping where I please...Maybe a little camper with a few treat nights in a cozy inn.

Right now my closeest dream is to graduate and start teaching (2 yrs to go and counting!)

i have always wanted to travel to europe. (maybe a graduation present to myself)

i'd love to see a real redwood tree (i'm going this spring!)

my biggest dream is to have a baby and a loving, supportive family of my own.

thanks

I want to...

...take a few weeks to learn how to cook (and speak the language) in Italy
...learn how to make my own wine
...graduate from college
...stay married to the man I'm with forever
...adopt a french bulldog some day

...and oh about a hundred other things. If I just keep chipping away, a little at a time, there will be time!!!
