Wants

Several years ago, post-bad breakup, I was sitting in a therapist's office, finally trying to empty out my gunked up, jumbled, completely clusterfucked head.  I spent the first hour and a half of my two hour appointment telling Mr. Therapist about all of the things that sucked about my life and what I *didn't* want.  After letting me tire myself out, he asked me, "But, what would you *like*?"  It took me ages to actually answer that question--no less than seven drafts, I think.  When I finally came up up with a list of the things I really really wanted, it was one of the most life-changing times of my life.  I thought I might have a go at putting together a list since much time has elapsed since those therapy sessions.

I would like:

A ukelele (and ukelele lessons)
An every day yoga practice
To make money making jewelry
To have regular acupuncture patients
Write a book
Have a successful/popular/moneymaking blog
My own car
Have regular animal acupressure/acupuncture patients
Enough money to cover all of the bills and quite a bit leftover for saving and spoiling
To buy Beeboy an iPad
To feel rested, calm, comfortable
To have enough funds to pay for our wedding
To marry Beeboy
To learn how to sew skillfully
To remember how to read for fun again
To have energy and feel healthy again
