From time to time throughout life I have thought of things I would like to do in my life. When I was little I would wish I could travel the world or be someone famous.

Now that I'm older, like all things in life, the things I would like to do have changed. Things that I used to think were important no longer are. Even with the changes some things have remained the same.

1. The most important thing I want to do in my life is just be safe and happy. Sincerely happy. To be able to sleep through the night and know I'm safe.

2. To right some of the wrongs of the past few years. To have the respect of my family again. To have my brother talk to me.

3. To see Texas and Montana. Ever since I was a little girl these are two places I have always wanted to go. Right now, Texas is the most important to me. The sooner the better.

4. I have already had several poems published. Not to sound ungrateful, but I would like to have one of my stories or articles published. To be able to see something I wrote in print would feel like a major a accomplishment to me.

5. To write a book. I would like to be able to share the trials and joys of my life. To share with others about some of the amazing people I have met. To share my mistakes so maybe even just one person wouldn't make the same ones I did.

6. I would like to make a difference in even just one persons life. To be able to , by either word or deed make their better in some way or another.

7. To have one of my songs performed.

8. I want to finish the research on my family tree. To have written documentation to pass on to my children so they know where they come from and who their family is.

9. To stop smoking or at the very least cut way back so I can sing. To be able to sing one more time in front of someone and know they enjoy it.

10. To go to Sweetwater TN to visit the place where my grandmother was born.

There are things in my life that I have accomplished that I am very proud of, and these things I may never be able to do. At least not all of them. But, I do know I will keep trying to do them. In the end, I supposed that is what is most important
