Well, I have been thinking these past couple of days of my answers I gave on Monday and have come to realize that I really want to do more than I said. I came home and made a time line for my goals and realized I should be able to acomplish all I said I wanted to by the age of 35. Minus the things that will take the rest of my life to acomplish such as leaving a memory of myself to my nieces and nephews.
So, I have revised my goals and extended them, as well as added some new goals. Instead of my Masters I am going to set my sights on a PHD. Instead of owning a condo I want a house and a vaction/retirment home, and so on...
They say that if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. I know we all hear this and think, "Yeah sure", but if you take some time out, sit quietly and really think about it, Hell yes we can accomomplish it!
Don't sell yourself short! This past year that I have been attending the LMG has been one of the happiest that I can think of in a long time. I have learned a lot about myself, others and our community. Not to mention the wonderful experiences and great friends I have made.
Wait... I did not mean to get off subject.
So in closing... Get out there and accomplish everything you want for your life. Make a difference and be remembered and I promise you, like the song says...
I'm gonna live for ever!!!!!
