Actually, I’m trying to find forms of exercise I really enjoy, so I’ll really do them. I’m doing Nia classes and T’ai Chi, and now this was brought to my attention. It sounds fun and like good exercise … but I was never able to do it as a kid. I hope I can learn!

I have to admit, my life is actually pretty abundant. All my needs are met. I have a home that I like and a family that I love, a decent job, good health.

I would like to be doing better than just surviving, financially! I would like to have some savings, retirement plan, college savings for the kids. I’d like to have a somewhat larger home—the lack of space is a serious stressor. I’d like to feel like I can buy things, not extravagantly, but just buy a book or a CD, without having to check the budget 6 ways to Sunday.

And I do focus, regularly, on being grateful for what I’ve got—it’s so much more than many have. But still, I’d like to know what it’s like to live with more “cushion” and a bit more luxury. And still be aware and grateful for it.
