Is it just me, or does this apply to everybody?

What do I want to be happy?

A balance of independence and interconnectedness

1.  Functional family dynamic

2.  Satisfying social life:  depth and variety

3.  Church community

4.  Fulfillment at work

5.  Financial control/stability

6.  Developed personal interests/activities

7.  Personal development plan

8.  Pleasing home environment

9.  Enjoyable

Sounds pretty good to me. I'll take an "and" in "love life" too, please.

Looks pretty valid for me. So long as the order is mutable.

OK, but would your list look like that if you put it in your own words and order?

(And why am I not surprised that it's you three that responded first? You guys live in my brain most of the time anyway and I love you for that).

Is this a hierarchal list? I mean, is a functional family dynamic more important to you than a satisfying social life, and so on?

I'm going to have to get back to you on my own list -it's in flux right now, I think. New location and all. But there's certainly some similarities - perhaps different definitions, though. My idea of a satisfying social life and your idea of the same may not be the same, for instance.

When I typed the list up a few weeks ago, it was intended to be heirarchal, and at the time I thought it was accurate. Now, I'm not so sure that it's accurately heirarchal, or that it's even possible for it to be so.

Also, I think I'm missing out on the brain stimulation (after hearing of Mrs. Dukakis' book, and all *g*). In all seriousness, I do need me some readin' and thinkin' and discussin' -- but maybe that falls under #6?
