What I have that makes me happy.

What I have that makes my life happier.

A good paying job.
A roof over my head.
Two healthy beautiful girls.
A dependable vehicle to get me to and from work.
My wife who laughs at my stupid jokes.
A few good freinds, that I can call anytime for help or advice.
My dog: that I can talk to when I don't want any response to my conversation.
Good health.
A pay check every two weeks.

My family makes me feel wanted, especially when I come home from work and my wife and girls are excited to see me.
My two girls come to me for advice and explanation on a variety of subjects, this makes me feel needed.
I feel wanted at work when my officer asks me to help with projects concerning the department.

What I have done right.
Deciding to go back to school to earn a degree, after so many years of procrastination.
What this says about me: Manages time well, priorities are in order, concentration skills improved and most of all patience. Trying to juggle the family, work, and school at the age of - - well anyway, has taken a tremendous amount of discipline and sacrifice.

What do I really want? hhmm.
If the genie appeared in front of me now, I would have to ask for several millions of dollars.
A five bedroom house, with a three car garage filled with half of Home Depot, a Mustang GT (two), an unlimited credit card, ( hate to carry cash). And probably the ability to have about three to four more children. To become an officer in the fire department. To finish school with a Bachelor degree

money=P&F *
house=L
children=L
car=F
officer=P
school=P

Something I could add to my life:
There are so many things that I am thankful for, so asking or wanting more would seem to me to be greedy. I would like fulfillment, without wishing my life away.
I have listed many things that I have and want, but they are material things.
I believe that having material things are just that, they fade away like the paint on a chevy, but having the fulfillment in my life that I have completed something, finally would be an achievement. I have so many things happening in my life now with work, school, family and friends.
Does asking for fulfillment mean that it will all pass by in the blink of an eye?

It would meet my need for:
Fulfillment would meet my need of acheivement, acceptance and accomplishment.

Sounds like "Fulfillment in your life that you have completed something," is really important to you.

I know what you mean.

I am concerned that when I finish this degree, I'll have to go on to another. Remember the song, "The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see. All that he could see, and all that he could see, was the other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain, was all that he could see. So he climbed the other mountain....
I think, when I feel fulfilled with one thing, I'll be looking for another. How about you?
