Nothing seems doable when you're sick. But when you're better - soon hopefully - everything will look different and ideas about what you want to do will just pop into your head, especially as your daughter becomes more independent xxLooking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-57793391150442538602012-01-28T12:01:31.857+02:002012-01-28T12:01:31.857+02:00Thank you Nkeiru - my whole perspective changed wh...Thank you Nkeiru - my whole perspective changed when I became I mother, now my biggest goal is to survive and be happy rather than be rich, famous, or anything else ambitious.Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-86377508748292779702012-01-28T11:30:47.363+02:002012-01-28T11:30:47.363+02:00It seems like your goals are the perfect balance, ...It seems like your goals are the perfect balance, possible to achieve and refreshingly un-greedy!<br />Lucidgypsy :-)Nkeiruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426572250875257544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-1150232320876269732012-01-27T22:21:42.668+02:002012-01-27T22:21:42.668+02:00Gemma, I think a big part of it is that I really d...Gemma, I think a big part of it is that I really don't know what I want.

More and more I think the power of positive thinking matters. Want it. Plan it and you find it more achievable. Don't hold yourself back. Be brave - if it's the south of France you want .....
