My Goals

1.  Happiness. 
I want to be happy with who I am, what I do, and the life I live.  This is always my goal, even if I'm in a current state of happiness.  I feel like it is important for me to constantly remind myself that life is only worth living if you are truly happy.  So I strive for it.  I push myself to change the things that makes me unhappy.  I do things through out the day because I want to, not because I have to.  I surround myself with people that make me happy, and in return, I give them happiness.

2.  Financial Peace
Should this really rank up there in number 2 position?  Probably not.  But I'm putting it up here because it is such a huge goal for us and our family.  We work so hard every day to achieve financial peace.  We have overcome so much and made it so far!  My goal is to keep moving forward toward this goal.  Will I ever make it?  You never know.  But at least I will keep taking steps in the right direction.

3.  Security
I want to be secure with our home life.  I want to find and live in that place that I will spend the next 20+ years of my life.  I want a roof over our heads, food in our tummies, and a place to call my own.  I want to dig up the dirt, paint the walls, tear out some cabinets and add in some tile.  I want a home where I wake up with the sun on my face, wind in my hair, ready to enjoy the day!

4.  Love
Love for myself, for my boys, for my wonderful husband, and love in return.

5.  Health
Health and happiness.  They go hand and hand.

In a way, I have already conquered each of these goals to some degree.  I feel blessed for the life I live.  But why should I stop there?  These are not just goals, but a lifestyle.  A way of life for me and my family.  By making them "goals" they force me to push towards them.  And not just live my life, but be happy.
