Yesterday, in my emotional state, I wrote down what I wanted to acheive before I died. I figured it didn't matter if I was going to die in a few years or several decades, the focus that this medical scare has provided me helps me to get down to what I really want out of life.

So, I wrote down some goals. Some even surprised my wonderful husband (but not many). Here they are in no particular order.

  • Finish two craft projects I'm working on - one for my friend's baby and one for my sister's baby.
  • Have a book published. Although I decided later that even continuing to have articles published would probably suit me, so I guess continuing to work on my writing and be able to call myself a published writer.
  • Be a loving, devoted wife to my wonderful husband.
  • Be a great mother to my four (hopefully more!) children.
  • Be a good home-maker.
  • Teach all my children about God and have them following Him.
  • LOVE!!!
  • Teach my kids what they need to know about life.
  • Learn to speak Spanish fluently.
  • Give home-made or hand-made, meaningful gifts, not commercial crap.
  • Eat YUMMY nutritious food.
  • Laugh lots!
  • Have fun.
  • Be silly.
  • Cuddle and kiss and tickle and touch my husband our blessings.
  • Introduce my children to great books and music.
  • Dance and sing and not care what anyone else thinks about it.
  • Take a zillion photos of our blessings. And my husband and extended family.
  • Spend heaps of time with my husband and children.
  • Stop being cranky with my family and telling them to go away.
  • Go on a missions trip to South America.
  • Be a Proverbs 31 woman.
  • Live and die without regrets.
