Until now, I pretty much had some sort of idea as to where I am going with my life. At the moment I am pretty clueless. There is so much I want to achieve.
These are the things I want to achieve.
- Learn Spanish and read some of the books I have kept in my to do list. These are the books that are translated to English, but I haven’t read them, because I want to read it in the language it was written. Mario Vargas-Llosa : “La Casa Verde”, Benito Perez-Galdos: “Fortunata y Jacinta”, Miguel Delibes: “Cinco Horas con Mario” are few of the books I really want to read.
- Sail around the world for a year. This is something I plan to do when my youngest leaves home in 4 years. I have yet to figure out the financial implications of this particular dream, but like all my dreams, I intend to jump head first and then figure out how to get out ..(I know zilch about sailing shouldn’t stop me from achieving this)
- Buy a beach house. (Where? I still don’t know)
- Write. My dreams have always been a bit unusual compared to everyone else. I like money for the comfort it provides and for being able to travel. But at the same time, I don’t want to be a slave for someone and work Monday to Friday and make money. My idea of the life I want to live is to get up each morning listening to the birds, go for my usual 10 km walk, come home, spend time doing the things I like to do (read, write and cook). I feel it is time I seriously consider how to get around to do the things I really want to do..
So onwards I march.. I know I will eventually get to my destination.. even with all the set backs..
I love your dream Sarah… I have one on similar lines, and would so love to make it real after my kids leave for higher studies… The only problem is I am yet to find the place for my dream home 🙂
Anna: we all have a place on earth we find and call it ours.. You will find your place..
atta girl!! that is the spirit!! Get busy getting to your destination!!
MS: I will..
The exam results are not a validation of who you are or what you’ve achieved as a person all these years.If you look at it, exam results are just a regurgitation of what you learnt.
The beautiful thing about you Sarah is,you’ll come up with a solution that is unique from everyone else ,one which works for you.I can’t wait for that aha! moment to occur .
All the best ,Lots of love …..
