What's missing?
I recently heard this question on a radio programme and it got me thinking. So what's missing in your life?
For me:
1. money - if money was no object there are so many things in life I would be able to do that I can't right now.
2. community - we (hubbie & I) are struggling to find a place where we 'fit'
3. the opportunity for adventure - we thrive on it, and like to live 'out of the grey' in life.
amen sister! We are so poor right now it's a sin, but i could be a lottery winner I hvaen't checked my numbers yet. I would love to go on an adventure I am so bored I can't even stand myself and i think it's lending itself to a bit of depression but it could just be the winter cold/doldrums i'm unsure. Hugs, ANDI
1) Yeah.. I agree.. money.. I would be able to do so many things I want to do and just cant afford.
2) appropriate help- I would say I want the right and appropriate help for my son. The docs just keep putting him on more medications and nothing seems to be working. Having the answers to help my son would be the first thing I would say is missing.. I know someone out there could help.. I just havent found them yet.
3) Initmacy- I think this is a hard one for me. I have been in my current relationship for 17 years now and although we love each other very much intimacy has been missing for a long time. I think it began when I started gaining so much weight.. i wasnt even attractive to myself. Now that I am thinner I think it is just ackward. We are trying to work on it but it seems to be a hard road for her to move down right now. I'm trying not to push but things have gotten a little tense lately because it just isnt there.
1. Definately money for me too. We barely scrape by on my husband's salary. I feel fortunate that we are somehow able to make it each month but there are times when I think having an extra cushion would help us out immensely!
2. I agree with Ruth on community ... my husband and I still don't feel like we "fit in" around here either.
3. Romance, romance, romance ... does that even exist???

you know, no matter how much you have, you never have enough. we live paycheck to paycheck and make good choices, but still there is never enough money. ;)
we have even gone so far as to eliminate those things that we 'like' but under utilize out of the budget to make ends meet. like:
2nd car
newspaper
eating out
cable/satelite
as for community. it is hard, my hubby has no desire for community. he loves being a hermit. I love community, and am transitioning out of one religion into another because of lack of community. it was the whole basis before but the church made some pretty broad strokes in changing the location, and now I am a stranger, so I found something closer to home. and I like that it fits my needs better. this was a big one for me, I had a baby shower for my daughter two weeks ago, and my 'friends' were all at a church conference, so I had no guests, that was an eye opener. I had no 'friends'.
adventure - overated, heehee, I USED to be all about cross country road trip, now I am all about all my errands in one trip without crossing my path once.
