name 3 things
I feel like it's been dead in here lately, so I'm going to attempt resuscitation just for fun.
Name 3 things you love about your life right now.
Name 3 things you want to have/do/be in your life in the future.

Re: name 3 things
1-I love that I have no one to report to and if I don't want to come home til 3 am... I wont
2-I love that I have DIYed everything in my house right now, from the couch to the curtains to the soap dispenser
3-I love that my relationship with my Dad has flourished since I've opened up and been honest with him.
1-I want to book my trip to Cambodia- this afternoon!
2-I want to pay off my car- this year
3-I want to be a wife to someone who loves me and mom, a good one like mine-someday
So just curious, what are your 3/3, OnlyAFool?
Things I love:
1.) Being a mom
2.) Doing anything I want with no limits or boundaries, just need the desire
3.) Having what I need to survive: a good job, a roof over my head, family, friends
Things I want to have/do/be in my future:
1.) A husband, more kids
2.) My degrees, first bachelors then masters
3.) A career I love
I love:
1. My fitness routine. I'm a relatively casual (but committed) runner, and I like what it adds to my life, and the amount of time I spend doing it. Thinking of adding yoga to this once I get up the courage to try a class.
2. My freedom. I have started thinking about a possible fall trip to Ireland, and I love that I can do this without having to consult anyone. My time, my money - I love this freedom.
3. My attitude. I have done a lot of work on myself over the past year+, and I am happy with how some good introspection and reading have improved my outlook and made me more aware. Always more work to be done, though.
I want:
1. A career. Right now I have a "great" job, and I'm good at it, but I am bored to tears. I'm currently job searching and trying to figure out what might make me happiest. I think my life is missing a larger sense of purpose.
2. A long-term partner. I'll admit it. I like having a special someone in my life to share things with and be close to. Things are going well with The Artist and I'm trying to stay relaxed about it and take things as they come without speculating too far into the future.
3. To be more understanding. Though I have worked on myself, I think this is one of the biggest areas where I can still improve. I am hard on other people and often rough with them. I want to get better at treating my friends, loved ones, and random strangers who cut me off in traffic (eff you) with more understanding.
Three things I love about my life:
-The best little guy in the whole world and that's P (DS)
-Fantastic family and friends
-Having more success than ever before in my career and life
Three things for the future:
-I would love to meet someone and get remarried, have more children someday
-Be a CFP!!!!!!!!!
-Get a considerable raise and more promotions
1. I love my health
2. I love that the vet found a med that works one my dog, so she doesn't pee everywhere.
3. I love the fact that I have such tremendous support from family and friends, especially with my racing.
1. I want to travel more.
2. I want to race more.
3. I want to help rescue more.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
1- I love my new motivation to make some things happen in my life that I want to happen
2- I love my honey
3- I love that my landlord finally trapped the critter that was in my attic that's been keeping me awake at night for weeks
1- I want to have a family. Husband, kids, dog (I'm 1 for 3 now!)
2- I think I want to go back to school, probably law school but I'm not sure yet
3- I want to move out of my current area that I've lived in for 20 years. I'm working on that one though...see #1 of things I love
Now:
1. I'm just in a great place right now: emotionally, romantically, mentally, financially.
2. That I'm still 31, LOL. 32 is coming fast and furious next month.
3. Independence. As much as I want kids someday, it's so nice being able to have a flexible schedule.
Later:
1. Have: A Family
2. Do: Travel
3. Be: Skinny!
Now
1. My dogs are awesome!
2. My best friend Oscar is amazing I don't know what I'd do without him
3. I actually enjoy going to work 90 percent of the time
Later
1. Get in shape
2. Lock in this job full-time (on contract now)
3. Keep my apartment cleaner
I love:
How easy home life is with me and my kids now that XH (and stepkids) have moved out.
My coworkers and how much we laugh throughout the day
Being single and experimenting with dating again
Future:
I keep making small "bucket lists" and I love checking new things off. Currently, my bucket list includes shooting a gun, learning to snowboard and zip lining.
I WILL get my masters degree this year and I'm going to have my very first graduation party once I have it.
I plan to do some remodeling projects at my house in the future and cannot wait to make the house even more mine!
I love:
my job
my fitness/health
my daily routine
Future:
marriage/child(ren)/family
I seriously need to work on my social interaction with some people. If I don't like you, I can't hide it. I need to learn to be more...fake?
mental peace
Love:
1-My friends and family. They are all so supportive of me.
2-My dogs. They aren't perfectly obedient and they always wake me up in the morning/middle of the night to pee (never H), but they are perfect for us. I'm glad we rescued them over someone else who couldn't handle Callie's energy or Leo's stomach problems and anxiety.
3-Being able to be in school right now. This kind of goes hand in hand with my supportive friends/family. I love that H supports me (emotionally and financially) so I can achieve my goals and that my friends are understanding and there for me when it gets too hard. I also just love school. I love learning and I love that I have met so many amazing teachers/mentors.
Later:
1-Keep up my GPA and graduate in the top of my class (I'm top 15% right now).
2-Go on a freaking vacation! Once I graduate, I am going somewhere with a beach and fruity cocktails.
3-Get the study organized. We have lived in this house for almost 3 years now and that room is STILL a disaster.
Name 3 things you love about your life right now.
Name 3 things you want to have/do/be in your life in the future.
Thanks for posting Only!
Name 3 things you love about your life right now.
My amazing son, family, friends and BF
My independence
Being able to really move forward with my life now
Name 3 things you want to have/do/be in your life in the future.
Travel more often
Advance my career even more
Continue to try to be a great mom
Things I like:
1. My dog is pure awesome.
2. This whole thing with my H and his affair has really shown me that there are a LOT of people who care about me and are going to be there to help me through this.
3. I found a therapist that I loved on the first try, which is one worry I can cross off the list of 8 million worries I currently have.
Things I want to have/do/be:
1. I want to make it to a place where I am ready to tell my H that I want a divorce and my family that I am going to be divorcing him (as someone mentioned in another post of mine, I have emotionally checked out, but I am just not ready to physically leave yet).
2. I want to find an awesome apartment and live it up on my own for a good long while (with my dog, of course) and CAN'T WAIT to be in a position to do this.
3. I want to pay off my CC debt finally. I have a good plan in place to make that happen, as long as I can stick to it. I think that my desire to change my life for the better is FINALLY stronger than my desire to spend ridiculous amounts of money on meaningless crap at Target, so things are looking good there!
Name 3 things you love about your life right now.
1. That I have exactly the job I envisioned having way earlier in life than I thought it would occur.
2. That in two weeks I will be moving into a new townhouse that is way bigger than I need for just myself but it is all mine and I got a great deal.
3. I have such amazing friends. Post divorce I met a lot of great girls in my nursing program and we still all keep in contact. They are a great support system and we all have so much in common.
