this is inspiring, a good way to see the light at the end of the tunnel instead of my being so focused on what I can't do and how I feel ....
my list:
1) go on vacation with dh and ds and just have fun and relax
2) learn to swim
3) start jogging again (gosh how I miss it!!! I wish I could have those days I didn't go as far or even skipped ... I've got a whole new appreciation for being active! a don't know what you've got til it's gone sort of thing I suppose!)
4) buy a house (sooooo tired of renting). This one is a long shot, but I am sure there's a way out there I'm just over-looking.
5) in general be more grateful -- I took *a lot* for granted before getting sick; that's something I vow to never do again! along with being more grateful, also being more aware and compassionate of conditions others have. I feel horrible now that I am sick and can't do a lot, because I think back to the times I was in a "go-go-go" and "hurry up already!" mode with others who had to walk slower or needed more time to catch up :/ I'm learning first-hand now what they must have felt like, and I feel very guilty (and soooo SORRY) for having that attitude and lack of understanding.
6) get out of debt and start saving -- I never fully understood the saying that 'debt is a prison' until illness hit out of nowhere and then dh's work hours got cut back. I'd like to get out of debt and start saving, so if anything like this (heaven forbid!) happens again, it won't hit as hard (well, in more than the physical, at least :/ )
7) smile more
