Goals and Dreams Thread

Hey Family,

Thought it was about time for another purely for fun thread...

...but wait, is it?!?

Setting goals, dreaming...projecting positively about the future is therapeutic, motivating and takes us out of 'our heads'...and into a happy place!

Whether it be an attainable goal that you are already working towards and closing in on...

...or a huge dream...(resources/restraints/practicality aside!!!)

What is on your wishlist?

S.C.

Panic Syndrome recovery due to CBT

First, my goal is getting rid of my health anxiety for good and never look back.

My dream is, drawing a comic book with the fantastic story in my mind. Which has been haunting me for more than a decade now...
I don't care about what I do with it afterwards (trash it, give it to a random person, publish it, etc). I just want to draw it.

Love this SC!

I would love to take yoga teacher training. I was pretty deep into yoga before my last bout started, so I hope to get back up there and even beyond. I've given myself all next year to build up and hopefully the year after start the teacher training.

Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.

1) Have custody of my grandson full time, let mom have every other weekend. lol
2) Go on a cruise, any where as long as it's a big ship lol.
3) Finish my degree in Human Services.
4) Have no more anxiety or panic attacks.
5) Complete Therapy for the first time in over 30 years of going.
6) Have my disability appeal get approved!!!!!!!!!!

I could probably think of more, but that's enough for now. :)

I love reading everyone's goals and dreams, keep posting them!!

Practicality aside, WELL... :D

I want an apartment in NYC. Maybe near Central Park. A beach house on Long Island. A lake house in Southeastern Oklahoma. A mountain cabin in Colorado, and one in New Mexico - Red River most likely.

I'd need a private jet to get back and forth to & from the east coast. I'd need a nice pontoon boat at the lake house. It's only logical to have a nice new truck to tow said boat. Oh, and a motor home to travel out west.

Yeah, that's all I need. I'm a pretty grounded person. ;)
