Sneak Peek: Board Question 33915

So I just answered this, and it won't post until tomorrow, but I'll probably forget to put it up here tomorrow because I'm going to be crazy busy. So here it is, enjoy your sneak peek.

Dear CPM,

How are you? I hope you are well.

So, for a few days now, I've had this feeling that there is a question I want/need to ask you. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is! Perhaps you know?

Dear Kismet,

Perhaps you were going to ask me one of the questions I've been asking myself a lot lately: What do I want to do with my life? I've had a lot of interesting things occur recently and the time is soon approaching for me to decide where my life is really headed. Over the weekend I had a nice chat with someone I really like, her question: "What is your greatest ambition?" (or something akin to that anyways.)

So, since I didn't respond to the question that posted today about goals, I'll respond here.

My Goals in life:

1. Be Happy
- to be achieved by the following:

2. Get married to a wonderful woman who is excited to raise a family with me and with whom I have common dreams/goals (see below)
3. Make my wife feel like the luckiest woman alive
4. Raise a family
5. Own a house in which to achieve #4, this house should have enough land around it for my kids to play in
6. Have said house be in an area where I don't have to lock the doors or worry about my kids disappearing off the street
7. Provide for my family with a steady job where I can leave my work at the office
8. Leave my work at the office and devote my time at home to my family
9. Read as many books as possible
10. Cook for my family as often as is feasible

I think these 10 things are what I want most out of life. They are the things that I will push the hardest for above all else. But there are still other things that I would like to do if life goes my way.

Things that would be nice to do if possible:

1. Visit Australia / New Zealand
2. Visit France
3. Fly in a hot air balloon
4. Visit a little diner somewhere and leave a $100 bill as a tip, just to make someone's day
5. Have enough money to not have to worry about it
6. Visit Machu Picchu
