Each month I would review it to see where I was. I realized I had nearly all those things, I just didn't realize it, because they didn't manifest themselves in exactly the way I expected. And the more I reviewed my list the more things those things I didn't have or wasn't doing came into my life surprisingly quickly.<br /><br />After a major health crisis last year I did my dream life list again and cut it back from 33 items to 11 . Realized a lot of things I liked were not really THAT important.<br /><br />I love the feeling you are having, living your dreams. It's the best. I wish for people who lack hope and joy in their lives to connect with this feeling because it is available to everyone one of us, if we will just look for it, in simple ways in our lives.kalanicuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853050797830829201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-48981109416891694402012-05-16T19:07:05.488-07:002012-05-16T19:07:05.488-07:00Pitch perfect.

I have similar "dreams" as yours, and like you...they are rarely reality. I am working on it, slowly. But I have a hard time with the discipline of it. I will literally decide on doing something one minute (i.e eat healthy) and then the next minute impulsively decide to eat pizza...it's so confusing how my mind contradicts itself! Good to know someone else is out there working on it also. I have a new resolve thanks to this post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951762442435940461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-67629786287449194752012-05-11T15:55:16.407-07:002012-05-11T15:55:16.407-07:00This is a fun, thought-provoking post.

I have such a hard time dreaming or even giving time to dreams. For 29 years I've dreamed of being a wife and mother. Clearly not God's will. That's a hard dream to let go of at age 41. I do still have some hope.<br /><br />Right now I dream of walking well. I injured both legs last week and haven't been able to run for over a week. I love to exercise. So, right now my dream is simple. To walk/run/hike without pain. I have hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-68306386741576636282012-05-11T14:41:55.901-07:002012-05-11T14:41:55.901-07:00I've been reading your blot or a few years now...I've been reading your blot or a few years now and I have never commented, that is a beautiful way to think, we often get caught up in the everyday mundane that we forget about the beauty in the small things.
