Most people make plans. What plans have you made for next year, maybe the next five? (61)
venere08: Perfect answer. And so you shall!
I willed a packet of chippies (lime and cracked pepper to be precise) out of a new vending machine at a large public hospital 8 yrs ago. We ahd visited my mother in hospital and nstopped at the machine with my brother on our way out. Neither of has brought change so all I could do is stare at that packet with ALLl the intensity of any emotion possible. When suddenly, the shiny, thick metal clasp opened up in front of our very eyes, and the packet dropped to the floor of the machine.
Not knowing what the heck just happened, we stared at each other, stared at the packet , then I opened up the flap and took the packet.
I thanked errr... someone...up there. My brother, a typically scetpical MBA accountant, readily recounts the story to friends, and complains I still haven't delivered on the lotto numbers!!!
So, the moral of the story is, yep, you want something badly enough. You can get it. laugh:
Just invite me to lunch at your new hotel, please!

Thank you so much for that. Exactly the encouragement I desired on this wonderful morning.

Of course I will.
You would be more than welcome.
I have this image of 21 bedrooms, nothing massively fancy, just a nice place with a few exquisite touches.

In the next five years I will no longer be a resident of my home country. And I will be living at peace in the Big Sky Country. Wilderness and the origin of my heart's vision of beauty close at hand. Streams filled with trout, mountains filled with places to get lost on purpose, and purest joy in my heart.

We must have similar visions. I saw just such a one about three years on the internet on a real estate site. It was in France, being sold lock, stock and barrel, and with about as many bedrooms. I all but wept as it was a gorgeous old mansion, already being run as a 4-star hotel. Views were breathtaking, extensive lanscaped gardens all around, and at the time, something ridiculous such as 400-500,000 Euros. Please, I would rather not think about it.

Sounds like you will have it all, Barren. You have attracted all that into your life.
How wonderful for you.

But ship, I am so sorry to hear that. I knew nothing at all.

Yes, not dwelling on it, and instead focussing on things more uplifting can only help.
These days, much of what I do relates to living my life as if perhaps tomorrow might be my last here. Fixing something that is broken. Saying something to someone that I want them to know (still a long way to go in that department).....Because one day it just might be. And I want to know I have lived my life the best way I knew how. Or at least come close to it.

I know better than make plans, I am one life throws all of the worst things possible at and so it's best to deal with those as they happen.
There's no telling what will happen next year or later. If you can name it , then it has probable has already happened to me. About the only thing left is going to the moon. Maybe that's next year.

Ever since my divorce in 1998 the holidays has been miserable for me and my children. So last night my oldest daughter and I talk for many hours. And we finally decided that next year Christmas would be like it was before the big divorce. My baking and decorating with my grand kids and enjoying and loving the time spent together...once again. These are things I did with my children when they were young.
And this year we will carry on the tradition of New Years. It was always about the kids with me....not out partying the night away.
We will have games, movies, food and lots of love and laughter once again. Even if it took 10 years to get to this point in our lives.

I'm planning on being back in university in Sept 2010 for another degree. In the mean time I will stay here in Taiwan to save up the money. I am also on the fence about doing a four month cycling expedition in Africa, it would be amazing, but it's super expensive. I stay motivated about my long term goals because I know what I want in my future. Once I make up my mind about something, there is no backing down.

To cut 7 strokes off my golf game.
To travel to every possible country I can.
To bring my RV to every interesting place it can drive.
To find the next and last love of my life.

I plan to give up teaching when I am 45. That is when my children will hopefully have finished their education.
Then I would like to buy a hotel, a small exclusive one, not sure where yet, not in the UK though.
How will I make sure I achieve them? I will, because I want to.
Perfect answer. And so you shall!
