Blogging on Demand, Chapter 2

Mar 24, 2008 19:11

Here's another 'blog about' request.

What are three aspirations you strive for that you will in fact complete before your end of days.

Interesting question/topic.

For all of the lamenting I can do here, I must keep in perspective that I've lead (and mostly continue to live) a charmed life. I have a loving and supporting family, a well-paying job that keeps me in shape, a wonderful partner, and some really good friends. At this stage of the game, I could probably ride the happy horse into retirement, but yeah there are a few things I'd like to do.

Aspirations? Let's see. First of all I am striving to live better. To shed some of the bad habits and traits that don't serve me. Put my better foot forward, dress better, express myself in a more sophisticated manner and generally improve my quality of life. Which isn't as easy as it seems. I struggle with falling in the same pitfalls a lot and sometimes I just give up. Lately I seem to be doing better, which is a good thing.

I'd like to be a published author. Writing here is a means to that end because it makes me think and express my inner voice. Some people have suggested that I publish the Little Square story and I most likely will some day. However, that may be a long time from now because publishers don't generally invest in unknown writers and self-publishing is VERY expensive.

My last aspiration is pretty simple, I would at some point like to own my own home and maybe just maybe, be able to make a good living without breaking my ass (maybe with the help of aspiration #2). Hopefully I won't drop dead before that.

There are only a few days left in March so you can ask your Questions or suggest blogging topics.
