I know this was posted earlier, but I can't find the post. I could not think that far ahead when I saw the post, life was too busy. But right now I am in a contemplative mood.
What is everyone up to next year? Where do you want to be in a year?
2015 is going to see major changes in our living situation. I will get the house packed and sorted by spring. Then the house gets torn down, hubby and I move into a motorhome on site while a new house is built and the place sells. My daughter does not want to join us in the motorhome, so she is looking to move into her own apt, or with a roommate.
Once the place sells then we buy a bit of 'bare' land. There we will build a house, a barn, hopefully a life. I am going to take 20 acres to run a small farm to be as self sufficient as possible. The rest of the land, at least another 20 acres, we will use to host events; medieval and renaissance faires, haunted attractions, paintball, etc. The goal is that once we get it all together, hubby can stop working and we can just work on the property full time.
It will take years to come to pass, but the next three months will see major changes that will start this process.
I have to get out of survival mode and into movement.
Through all of this, I have to keep my fears at bay enough to keep moving. I have to keep physical pain at bay to keep moving.
I have to learn to be strong again. That is my goal for 2015, to learn to be strong again.

My two main 2015 goals are clashing a bit at the moment...
Enrolling in doing a Postgrad in Psychology with the long term goal of becoming a children's trauma counsellor so no child I see EVER goes through the crappy "counselling" I received post trauma as a child...
Plus, I'm so close to going to Go Vap Orphanage in Saigon in February that I've already PACKED my tiny, cabin bag full of Big Headed Toy Dogs for the kids already... rofl... who needs clothes when you have smiles...
The problem... the Postgrad STARTS in Feb... eeek! I might be a fast learner... but yeah be pushing it getting behind BEFORE I've even started... arghhh!
I want to save up and move into my own place and get back into therapy. It's going to be a hard journey.
