Seen at Kerri‘s blog:
I want to:
make a difference in people’s lives.
do something meaningful.
help people that are less fortunate than I am.
carve out time for myself, daily.
stand up for what I believe.
I want to think:
that I am a capable person.
that I am a good friend.
I want to learn:
how to take photographs. Professionally.
how to be a better person.
how to deal with things that I cannot change.
how to love myself and others better.
how to speak Italian [again].
I want to see:
my family and friends more often.
J happy again.
Australia, Iceland and Norway.
I want to try:
eating more fruits.
sticking to my New Year’s resolutions.
I want to tell:
my family and friends how important they are to me more often.
J that he can be anything he wants to be, if he only tries.
I want to touch:
people’s lives.
a horse between the nostrils.
I want to smell:
apple pie.
the ocean.
the air before a rain storm.
I want to feel:
confident about who I am.
that what I do for most of the day, at work, matters.
completely carefree every once in a while.
I want to stop:
trying to be something that I am not.
hiding my light under a bushel all the time.
worrying about what’s going to happen in a week, in a month, in a year.
living in the past.
I want to let go of:
my fears of failing.
my self-doubt.
wondering what might have been.

February 2, 2008 at 2:16 amThanks for sharing this with us. Although opening ourselves makes as more vulnerable, it also let’s people connect. I felt connected at many points at others not and it makes me curious about you :)
However, I wish you all the best with your goals and hope you feel much more positive about yourself in future. I know, it’s easy said… (I just try to stop thinking and start acting and it works for me)
Have a nice weekend
