'Aim for the stars and settle for the moon' is very much my guiding mantra. In ten years time I should have just retired, assuming someone doesn't move the goalposts in the meantime.<br /><br />It would be nice to have found someone to love, and to have done more travelling in my next 10 years, all funded of course on earnings made as a writer.eeyornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933757489269873196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-56054173368593142012011-05-28T08:16:29.709-07:002011-05-28T08:16:29.709-07:00I don't know if I want to get into my goals on...I don't know if I want to get into my goals on here--I do dream big, though.

Hey, if you create a repellent that goes on to sell big, you could use the money to invest in one of my screenplays, so we can shoot it around a starring role for you to get that best actress Oscar and then you'll write a book about how blogging started it all that becomes a best seller and wins you that Pulitzer :)<br /><br />Having big dreams is great and I like you you touched on people being realistic and such and having a balance in between being too ambitious and not being ambitious enough. I've come to learn the hard way that the former can often be a more enjoyable, productive and beneficial experience than the latter.<br /><br />Hey, you know that old saying "Go hard or go home"!....I think that can apply to having dreams and goals. If we're going to dream, we might as well dream big....I mean, that's what most of the celebrities say in their interviews anyway, lol.<br /><br /><a href="http://madlabonline.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a>Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-85022655036052786562011-05-25T23:21:28.819-07:002011-05-25T23:21:28.819-07:00Jenn - thanks so much!

Many, many more posts to make it through but I'm expecting great things. ;)<br /><br />Theresa - the lake house sounds like an amazing goal. Especially with the screen porch to ward off the mosquitoes. My mom is originally from MN so we'd visit family on the lake every summer - it was bliss except for those nasty red bites all over! And the other goals sound pretty great too.<br /><br />Word Nerd - I like all your goals, but LOVE your number five. Go-getters speak straight to my heart. :)<br /><br />MrsWilk - PhD sounds perfect.<br /><br />Beachlover - gardening, exercising, traveling, learning and being a great Mama. Sounds like a beautiful life of health, love and adventure.<br /><br />Langley - Good word to encapsulate a whole array of goals. It fits so many categories!<br /><br />Dances with Vodka - Here's to your happiness and health!<br /><br />Thanks to all others for the comments and positive feedback on my writing. :)Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507063858936159161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-78176519069833389182011-05-25T17:29:59.127-07:002011-05-25T17:29:59.127-07:00Ten years from now I want to still be happy, I wan...Ten years from now I want to still be happy, I want friends and family to be happy as well as healthy.

My goal is to live on a lake with an enclosed porch that keeps out the bugs but that doesn't obliterate my view of the lake, so I can sit outside with my laptop and write another screenplay after having won an award for my previous screenplay(s). I'd love to find a love interest, too, one that doesn't hinder me and who supports me the way I would support him. And I'd like to finally find the peace that comes from knowing I am where I am for a reason and that I cannot control the outcomes of choices made by my children or grandchildren.
