What were your dreams?

Before all this madness started, really even before you got married, what were your dreams? What did you want to do, where did you want to go, what did you want to do in your life?

I always wanted to travel, to see new things. I never had the courage to do that on my own, so I always went where my husband wanted to go. Now, I've flown across the country by myself several times, and picked my own places, the ones I've wanted to see, on my own. I know it's not much, but it's given me a feeling of self confidence that I had not had before.

My high school yearbook from Gr. 11 says I wanted to be an actress, an author and a mother. Well, I'm two of those things, and I've done some local theatre, but not for about 20 years. But it's okay--the other things are good, too. :)

I wanted to become a freelance writer or an airhostess or a corporate kinda person. Well I am a writer now because I gain a lot of weight due to a hormone imbalance in my body which killed my hostess career even before it started.

Hard question, will try to answer as best I can.
The childhood I had growing up, for the longest time made me want to never become a parent myself. My son was a true blessing and I would never give that up, nor his 1/2 sister who I had last year.

I know I always wanted to do something that would help people, must be the Aquarius in me. I also knew that I wanted to somehow succeed in "a man's world" as a top female doing something, really did not need to be anything special, but now that I am older, I have gotten into computers more. I find it quite entertaining when a man tells me there is something I can not do b/c I'm female, and I end up doing it better than most men.

I have been an ex travel agent, and I still love the idea to travel. I know one day I will be in Spain & Germany for sure, but I have a huge list of others. I think once the company I do work for now, can get to the point to pay me for a month vacation - then I will go.

The only thing I ever truly dreamed, was being a better parent than my own, and succeeding in something I have been told I can not do. :)
