18 Things I Want...

First, I love my daily emails from The Universe... they are so funny/uplifting.  I'm going to start this post with my email I received today.  It really spoke to me today. 

Sometimes, Maria, if the direction you're about to move feels "right" in your head and heart, yet the first few steps look pretty daunting, not fun, and maybe even scary, you should take those first few steps anyway and get 'em over with.


And I'm not just saying that because watching you in action gives me goose bumps.
Oh... behave,

The Universe   Okay so now on to the juicy stuff...
I read that making a list of "18 things you want" is all the rage right now (says this blogger:  18 Things I Want), so why not jump on the band wagon and start my list!  Maybe this is a good kick start to brushing the old cobwebs off the ole blog and write and enjoy doing this again! 

I want.../I want to... (other #1, the rest is in no particular order)

1. my boyfriend to come home, safely
2. magically have my apartment unpack itself/furnish itself to my taste/paint itself -- i need a magic wand!
3. have macy's call me, instead of me having to call them, to have my sofa ordered/delivered
4. for the next 60ish days to fly by (for everyone else it seems to be going by quickly! no fair.)
5. be secure/not so afraid of everything/confident/not second guess everything
6. become more motivated
7. get back into 2009/10 shape (without having to suffer)
8. a new car/not deal with 10/405 traffic ever again (i suppose i could handle the traffic part pretty easily)
9. a vacation, and not just a vacation, i mean one to really write home about/travel more, a lot more
10. have a plan/be more organized
11. blog more, like i used to -- it was fun!
12. go back to school/finish what i start
13. for united to hire me full time
14. learn from my mistakes (with boyfriends & finances, mostly)
15. my parents to stay healthy
16. be grateful/happy with what i have/want less (kinda funny "want less" is on my list of "wants")
17. be understood (i feel misunderstood a lot, clearly this is a me thing, but i can't figure out how to fix this..yet!)
18. have fun with my friends & family a lot more than i do -- more fun probably tops this list

Life is good, life is great... don't get me wrong, but I suppose we could always want more, huh?  I guess I will try and focusing on wanting less & being grateful for what I have, because what I have is INCREDIBLE.

See ya soon :::heart:::
