FIVE years from now? Do you see your life being the same, better, or worse than it is right now? If you see it as different, how do you see these changes coming about?

In 5 years I'll be retired! Life will be better! Well, in 4 years I'll be able to retire at 62. I'll make as much on social security as I do working now I can hardly wait!

Great outlook Tommy. My youngest child is now 18 so I know how good it feels to start a new beginning again. Enjoy that retirement to the fullest.

Hm. In five years, i hope that i can move up in the company i work for. As of now I am the youngest person in the company. I hope that I can find some kind of control and solid ground. Hopefully I can buy a new car by then haha

Five years from now I will be 48 and my husband will be 4 years from retirement. My daughter will be 14 and just starting high school. My doctor will have retired or be very close to it.

My life will be better because I will have 5 more years of experience on which to draw.

I might be working again maybe in a new career and ....

my husband and I will be more solid in terms of his retirement plans-when the FUN begins!

I'll be 27 and life will be better. Older and wiser right? No idea where I will be living (somewhere that is not LA) but hopefully I will have completed my MFA and working somewhere exciting and fulfilling. I see myself working through things I'm struggling with and being stronger.

I see myself having a stronger relationship with God. I see myself changing careers from social work to a paralegal. I see myself getting married to my fiance and having a child. I see myself as being a stay at home mom for a while. I see my symptoms starting to get better and being more manageable as I grow and mature. My doctor said that the worst of my symptoms will probably be in my 20s and 30s and I'm 31 now so maybe as time progresses the illness will begin to disapate a bit. I see myself with hope glasses.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
