    The best thing in life is when my 4 yr old for no reason comes up to me and hugs me and says I love you out of the blue. That to me is one of the best things in life.

    1. My family, home, job, friends, this place!
    2. I feel like I am compassionate, caring, giving and a bit silly. The people around me are wonderful listeners, givers, lovers, and strong.
    3. I see that it isn't just us living in this world and the amazing things that happen in the wild always seem to fill me with questions. Nature, the ocean is my favorite place to be, in the sand not in the ocean that is. I see goodness, and kindness in people that some people may not see, I believe in giving the benefit of the doubt, some people say I am stupid for that, but I really love to find good in someone rather than the bad!
    4. I love my family and admire their strength. The kids, they have a way of giving so innocently, my husband I admire him for the strength he put in me and my kids!
    5. I enjoy reading, eating cereal, riding bikes, talking, kids, alone time, drives are my favorite so I can listen to my kind of music really loud, and last VIDEO POKER! LOL
    6. My goals are to get through our years with the kids as smoothly and sweetly as possible, when my husband and I are done with that then, I will find some good things to do like volunteering at the hospital to hold the babies, or at the shelters around town, be a big sister to someone in need... I don't know maybe write a book about my little journey, never to publish but to hold dear!
    7. Too many to list here, everyone has opportunities it is just a matter of timing and your wants and needs at the time. So I will decide what opportunity to take when the time comes!
    Cal, I really sat and thought about these, I have so much more to say. Thanks for the post, I also enjoyed reading all of the other answers! I hope this keeps going in a good direction! Hugs sweet, Start

    Hello Cal,
    Good thought.
    The good in my life is God, family, Friends and much love.

    The people I know are all kind and loving people who really care about others.. As for me I am a softy when it comes to helping others.

    Around me is so much natural bueaty, the stars, flowers, birds, the amazing bueaty of two young children playing. The bueaty in my daughters face when she calls me mommy.
    A new tree being planted in the ground by a young teen. All things are beautiful if we truly take the time to find their bueaty.

    I love and admire and love all those who are suffering in this world.

    I enjoy swimming and hiking and reading and just talking with new people. I like meeting new people.

    My goal is to be a full time minister.
    To remain a minster until God tells me the work is done.
    I look forward to do my ministry in territories that are hard to reach, Like in the mountains on small islands, wherever people are that need to learn about God.

    Take care,
    Hope12

    What is good in your life?
    I just took another certification exam. I scored an 880 on the Microsoft 70-291. It was hard! 700 is passing, and out of my class of 41, I'm probably going to have the highest score. Being able to remember all that crap you'll never need is good, because I can show it off once and a while :)

    What do you feel is good about you, about the people you know?
    I feel that my friends and I are pretty responsible. We don't usually do things because they're cool, or because other people are. I went to Las Vegas over my 21st birthday. It was fun. I didn't gamble much at all, and I drank a total of 1 6pack while I was there (for a whole week). I mean, it was my 21st... had to drink a little.

    What goodness and amazing beauty do you see in nature, in people, in the world around you?
    I always seem to find goodness in music. I don't think there is a song that's been written that I can't find at least a snippet of a happy part to. Then again, I rarely listen to lyrics until I heard the song for the tenth time, and the actual music is just so much happier anyway.

    What do you love and admire?
    I love my family and I admire anyone who thinks of people besides themselves

    What do you enjoy?
    Music, Skiing, Roller Blading, Running, Programming, Bowling, Hanging out with friends, and my favorite... the couch, a blanket, a TV, and a friend (all at the same time)

    What are your goals? Your plans?
    My goal is to get CCIE and CISSP certifications, to live in another country for at least a few years, and to invent something that will be useful to almost everyone.

    What oppertunities lie in your future?
    Only time will tell :)

    I, for one, think you're going to happen...

    I have three children who still talk to me. Figure that is pretty good and I know if I ever needed some help, it would be there. My oldest son lives with me and provides care for my youngest during the daytime, so I can work my part time job. Not many 26 yr old guys would do that.

    While I do not have a huge circle of friends, the ones I have rock! My best friend and I just celebrated 37 years of friendship. We met as freshmen in college and were study partners. She got me hooked on "Days of our Lives".

    God is good, even when I am not.

    What do I enjoy? Nature walks. It is a bit harder to do that with my son's wheelchair but there are getting to be more handicapped accessible walk ways. I also enjoy my family and even my wacky neighbors (not all days though-lol).

    Goals? To see my youngest safely more on his own. Whether that is a group home or his own apartment with live in staff. To have his own job, whatever that will be. He loves shredding paper so I really think he could work in the White House. Since he cannot talk, there would be no one he would tell a secret to. Another goal is to see my oldest son find someone who will love him and not scam and fleece him like the last two women did.

    I don't know about tomorrow's opportunities. But I am sure some are out there.
