There are so many things we all want to do in our lives, so this is a great question! I try to look at life in terms of priorities, but this is the kind of list where you can have a little fun :)

10. Be able to fully support myself with my writing. That's a bit far-fetched, but possible so I'm keeping it on the list!

9. Getting a higher degree. I really would love to go back to school and get a master's degree. But I'm torn between continuing with writing (which hasn't fully worked out) or going for a different specialization in order to get a higher ranking job and salary.

8. Be healthier! Lord knows I could stand to drop like 50 pounds! I want to get to the point where being very healthy is a priority and one that I can also instill in my husband and children.

7. Help my parents. My parents are wonderful people. But they are both elderly and need all the help they can get. I really hope I can get to the point where I can do more for them financially. They deserve to grow old gracefully. But with no job, and Social Security checks not covering much, it is hard for elderly people to support themselves.

6. Share the love! I want to spread love and happiness to as many people as possible. I want to make people laugh. I want to help them be happy and enjoy their lives. I don't want to just tell people to look on the bright side, I want to show them the bright side, I want to be on the bright side!

5. Travel around the world! I am young and this would be the perfect time to travel. But I also just got married a year ago and we are just starting out. One day I hope we can travel all over the world, especially to France, Spain, Italy, Canada, and tour the US!

4. Educate. I don't know if I want to formally be a teacher. But I want my life experience and my outlook to teach as many people as possible. I want people to learn from me. I don't want to be a waste of space. I want to learn and teach.

3. Be content. I want to get to the point where happiness is not something I constantly strive for. I want to learn to be content. I don't always want to be extremely happy or sad. I want a medium, and content is that medium for me.

2. Have a family. I want to have children and complete the little family my husband and I are creating! I think it would be great to have babies and take care of them and watch them grow. But I want to make sure I can fully support them both financially and emotionally.

1. Me and Hubby for all Eternity. I want to grow old with my husband and be able to reflect on the great life we experienced. When we die of a VERY VERY OLD like unnaturally old age, I want us to go on and make the world better from above.
