I like my life pretty well just as it is. If I could change one thing it would be that I could make a living with my horses. The only thing stopping me is the money. I already have an excellent job, that allows me time off to rodeo, I'm home working my horses alot of the time, it pays me good enough that I don't worry too much about being tight on money or wondering if I am going to be able to pay the bills this month. If I was to start trying to make my sole income on horses I think I would lose alot of the enjoment for several years because I would always be broke. So maybe I'm actually really happy and just looking over the fence, you know what they say "why do you want what you know you can't have?"
Hmm interesting question my honest actual first thought was not much would I change.. as I know with anything i could want more problems could come as well and hey at this point my issues are at least familuar to me lol.
I would say more money but I know if I had more I would spend more
Here's what I want to change. I want to move farther out of the city, into the country, and I picture myself on a ranch with my spouse.
The 2 things that are holding me back - the commute to work would be horrible, and I hate the thought of being so far away from my horses during the day. Second problem is that I don't have a spouse!
Hmm after seeing ashleys post i have one thing.. i wish and it doesnt really apply to me now but to me as a teen and young adult. I wish i could have really believed and trusted in the adults in my life... that truly self acceptence does come and that there would be a time in my life i would be very comfortable in my own skin
I am truly blessed with a wonderful son, beautiful ranch in the boonies, sweet horses/llama/donkeys/dog/cats/chickens and wouldn't change a thing. A few extra dollars at the end of the month would be nice. It's such a wonderful time of my life, sharing our ranch with special people, watching David overcome the challenges of having Aspergers Syndrome, and having very dear friends whom I trust and thoroughly enjoy. At 47, I've reached the point where character counts, not the clothes on my back or car in the garage. Bottom line, being in the middle of God's plan for my life is sheer joy.....never thought I'd see the day!

I would move to TX. Right now the only thing holding me from doing it is hubby's job. He can retire in less than 3 years (at least if he doesn't get a promotion) and we will move then. IF he gets the promotion, he will need to continue to work until he does 3 yrs in that position. It will be good in the long run because his retirement $$ will be more. I just don't know if my sanity will last that long.
I'd like to be in the hospital right now (RIGHT NOW) giving birth.
Nothing is stopping me, I'm doing whatever I can to facilitate it, but it appears the baby thinks he needs a few more weeks.
Can't focus on much else right now, or I would give a better answer because I do still have a lot I would like to accomplish in my lifetime personally and for my family.
I would be filthy rich and neither my husband or myself would have to work outside of our home and we could have the farm of our dreams.......
Currently there is no filthy rich in the future and the farm of my dreams is a work in progress and in order to retire we will have to sell it all down the road......oh well so be it.......just hope we get it all done before we die
There is not a lot to wish for in my life except the health and safety of my loved ones.
Personally, for me, there is ONE wish that I could dream of coming true...but...it really is not possible, nor is it wise! *LOL* I guess I get a little bit of that wish every once in a while, but I could wish for "more" of it.
I am very lucky and just hopefully my dad will come through his surgery to remove his left kidney (he has a large cyst on it) and be back to good health for a very long time (he is only 63) to come.
I don't have a lot of control over that one and so I will have to leave it to chance and the wishes of those that love him.
If I could have only one wish it would be to go back in time two years and never get on the mare I had the accident with. Then I would be pain free, able to do what I want physically and be able to work (so I could get more minis). So many aspects of my life would be affected and improved with one wish.
But then again, that is how I got into minis in the first place.
I love everything about my life. My husband, son, family and the fact that we are blessed to own the animals, the home, the cars,etc. that we have.
With that said I am sitting here dwelling on what changes we need to make at our place. It's so stressful worrying about everything. I really want to simplify our lives. I have 2 horses that I keep going back and forth with selling. I love them dearly and they are both absolutely gorgeous. It's just so hard to make the decision. After we lost Millie two weeks ago things have really started to change.
I really want a riding horse again. I have ridden recently and have the bug again. Oh decisions decisions.
... so I guess I wish that I can make up my mind and move on(maybe I should wish for $ because that would help a little bit).
Lisa- ditto. I am actually at the age where I am becoming content with "me" and the people around "me". Of course, there are things I would change, but I am actually really feeling just at ease. I wish I had listened to my parents and everyone else many many years ago....
