I have many things I would like to do in my life so I'm not sure if I could narrow it down to just 10 but here we go.
First of all I want to have a rewarding career. I've been working for 13 of my 30 years and have yet to find a career that I'm proud of. Sure, I've had various jobs that I have liked but nothing that last. I am tired of working for the man so to speak. I would love nothing more than to have my own business and be my own boss. Since I have been online I have looked at so many websites that claim they can help me do this but guess what? None I have stumbled across really delivered and I'm not into paying someone to send me stuff that may or may not generate money. If it doesn't there I am stuck with software and such that does me no good and I'm out even more money. I want to be able to sit back, take a breath and not worry about how I'm going to pay my bills next month.
Second, I would love to travel the world. Before I met my current boyfriend I have never even been out of the state I live in. Well, I take that back when I was a little baby my parents lived in Oklahoma for a while I think. I don't remember any of it though. Since I have been with my current boyfriend I have been to 1 other state. Sad as that is it was so exciting to me. I would love to go to Australia, Paris, Africa and many other places.
Third, I want to own my own place again and KEEP it! When I was married we bought a house but just like the marriage it didn't last. I loved the freedom of having my own space to decorate and fix up as I wanted to.
Fourth, I would love to do something to help neglected animals. It has been my dream ever since I could remember to open a ranch or something like that to take in stray and abused animals.
Fifth, I would like to go back to school. I was an High School Graduate with Honors but never went to college. I did pursue online classes and got a Diploma in Administrative Assistant. Up until this point it hasn't helped me any.
Sixth, I would like to have 5 closets full of clothes and shoes. I know this is petty of me but I've never been one to even fill up one closet with clothes and handbags and things of that nature. I would love to just go and shop and not worry about how much I've spent.
Seventh, I would like to get married again. Not any time soon but one day in the future.
Eighth, Get health insurance, I know this is low on my list but right now I'm not working so when I get another job this will move up on my list. I need health insurance because I have a reproductive problem that may or may not be fixed. I need insurance so I can pay for everything.
Ninth, break into the wonderful world of web design, this is an important thing to me because I love to make websites and graphics. To have my own stuff out there on the web for millions to see and maybe buy would be wonderful.
And finally, the tenth thing I would like to do in my life is be more patient with myself and others around me. Do something to help my struggling friends and neighbors. Do something to better this world.
