I have spent the last couple of days reflecting upon my life and one question has come to my mind – if I could have any ONE thing to come into my life at this moment, what would it be?
However, I have decided that I would like to make this week’s blog about YOU! I would really appreciate it if you would take a moment and go to the link below and tell me the single most important thing that you would want in your life at this moment if you could have anything.
Please feel free to make your response as long or as short as you would like and then come back to this site throughout the week as everyone shares their wishes. Then next week, I will share with you the one thing that I have already determined that I would really like in my life now. I think that this will truly be a very wonderful experience.
Thank you so very much for sharing!

I Have To Say This Is The Hardest Question to Answer And I Have To Say What Do I Want is To Get This Divorce Finish, Find a Job to Where I Can Get Out Of The House and Start Saving Up The Money To Get a Place of My Own, and Go Back To School.
The thing that has been most important in my life is peace of mind. What I would like most right now is to find a way to be of most use in helping people and the world. I have prayed to get the answer of what my purpose in life is. So right now I wish I knew the answer.
time and space for me, without responsibility… without the mundane burdens of life. just time and space to figure out what it is that i want. to figure out in which direction i need to turn.
I want someone to hire me who values what I have to offer. If you remove the financial aspect of being unemployed, you’re left with the way it makes you feel, to have something that you feel no one wants. I’ve worked so hard to get the education, experience, and skills to become attractive to employers. I have a solid resume, rock the interviews, and leave them feeling great about myself. I get letter after letter that someone else has been chosen. I do believe there are wonderful, deserving people out there getting those jobs. I just want a shot at getting back into the social world where I can offer a smile and help people. I miss it so. I’d like to be able to pay my bills, also, and not have my husband feel like he’s doing this by himself.
I want my brother back. He committed suicide a little over a year ago, and I can’t seem to get it together since. I’ve lost 2 jobs, a boyfriend, and a home since he passed. I know if he was here to keep me grounded (like he always did), these things would not be happening.
I’d also like to have my boyfriend back. “The most painful goodbyes are those that were never said or explained.” They both left me without saying goodbye or why!! It’s consuming me. Gotta let it go. So maybe the one thing I want is to learn to let them go…..either way
Very hard question for sure! If I’m being selfish, which is unlike me, I would have to say that I want……..
To be free of flashbacks, body memories and the feeling that they may never go away. I feel haunted by so many things. Try as I might ~ the things in my head won’t go away. I struggle all day, everyday. If the flashbacks weren’t so strong, I wouldn’t even have to go there in my head at all. I could push it all away and just be happy. I guess it’s all part of working through everything. So I go on. And the happy mask remains so that I can be strong throughout the day when I have to be.
I have this wonderful workbook called “How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything.” It asks lots of questions to find out what makes you do things the way you do. One of the questions is similar to this one. “If you could have one present, and money was no object, what would it be?”
My answer to that question is ~ I want a horse. I’ve always wanted a horse. It’s just never been practical to have one. When I was little we were too poor. And now that I’m older, it’s never been about me and what I want. I put my family first. We have a place to keep a horse ~ but it’s 2 hrs away. I’m still dreaming though. And I may be 50 years old before I get a horse. But I’m not giving up my dream. I want to adopt a rescued horse that needs lots of love. I don’t even have to ride it. Just take care of it. That’s my one THING. Thanks for making us think Barbara! Can’t wait to see your answer!
What I wanted in my life at 18 was to be able to move out because my Dad was too strict,I knew doing so would make me happy.
What I wanted in my life when I was 20 was to be beautiful on the outside…after all physical appearance was evertything.
What I wanted at 22 was to get to know my Dad better…so I spent 10 days with him in Puerto Rico..itwas life changing.
What I wanted in my life when I was 30 was to finally find someone and be married and live the “Happily Ever After”.
What I wanted at 37 was to have a child before it was too late to become a mother.When I had my son at 38 I felt scared,but reborn.
What I wanted in my life at 40 was to get to know “me” better.
What I wanted in my life at 45 was a greater understanding about my purpose in Life.
What I wanted at 50..was to try to figure out how it came to be that in my many years upon this earth it took so long to figure out that true happiness does not consist of Beauty..wealth or material possesions.
What I have at 57 years,2 months and 1 week is a family that I treasure more with each passing day…Friendships that have stood the test of time…and a faith in God..that though shaken at many times..has remained.
“When you have come to the edge Of all light that you know And are about to drop off into the darkness Of the unknown, Faith is knowing One of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or You will be taught to fly” Park Overton*
The only thing I could want in life right now is to make sure I’m being successful passing laws to help protect abused children. With little income and such, it’s getting difficult.
I have a beautiful little boy, a generous boyfriend, and a sincere friend in my house right now, and I really can’t ask for any better than that.
Money is tight, but we’re eking by with basics. I just want my cause to do well.
There are many things that I want, but the main thing that I want in my life is freedom. From many things.
when I think about it , that is about the single hardest question I can think of. I lead a fairly modest life but it includes so many family and riends I feel rich. I guess if i could have anything it would to be pain free. I want the usual for my family, health and happiness but the question really wasn’t about them. like I stated above this seriously a hard question for me, I really can not think of much that I want or need for myself.
