I want a picket fence

I don't understand how my mothers computer 500 miles away from my apartment logged me into this blog automatically without me ever once logging into it. Strange. Anyway....

Goals. What a tricky word...question..thought.....When I think about what goals I have and would like to achieve, I can't help but get confused. Most people, when they think of goals (or set them), they have something to do with graduating, having a career they love, a family, ...etc. Maybe not all of them, but generally, when asked the question, "What goals do you have?" it seems people jump to security. Everyone loves security though.... who wouldn't? And yes, there are goals that I think about and set but.... My main goals in my life are to be happy, to learn, to grow and to discover myself. Without having and doing those four things, I'd be too indecisive to set and fulfill other goals. Yes, I want to graduate. Yes, I want a career. Yes, I want a family. But I want to be happy, learn and grow, in order to discover who I am so I can do those things with a positive outlook in life.

I started a new journal about a month ago and the first entry talks about how I want to look at things on the brighter side from now on.


Where did these ideas of being happy as my main goal in life come from? Probably a large collection of things happening throughout my life time and family.... Coming back home for Thanksgiving and my birthday made my goal to be happy grow larger than it ever has been.

Enough said. My goal is to be happy.
and to see my mom happy... and my dad
and my sisters...and nephews..
and to master the guitar.
and to master the harp.
and to write a book, or two or three or four...
