1. Is your life going the way you want it to go?
The answer to this question very much depends on the day that it is being asked. In general, I'd say yes, since I don't struggle against the proverbial current. I let life just kind of happen for the most part: I work hard, try to appreciate what I've got, and try not to take too much for granted. However - this week, between family medical crises, my son losing school work (gah! It's only 1st grade!?), my work induced malaise from a seemingly stalled and increasingly less than challenging job...the odds in the celestial dice roll have not been in my favor.
2. Are you currently pursuing your dreams, living life with purpose and passion?
What are these 'dreams' of which you speak? I don't really do a lot of dreaming, aside from planning vacations (and there are far too few of those). I used to have big dreams, but the crushing weight of adulthood kind of quashed a lot of my more unrealistic aspirations, and I've never really posessed a lot of what some people call ambition. You know what I've always wanted, though? A horse. Just one. Not even a very big one. Something nice...not too fancy.
(Yeah, I know. In the words of Juno: "Whoa. Dream Big.")
3. Is your life all it could be, all it should be and more?
This is starting to sound like a recruitment drive for some obscure branch of the military. All of a sudden I feel like running off and joining the French Foreign Legion.
4. Or is there something missing?
Or? Is there. Seriously, though...Sometimes I have moments of second guessing or discontentment about the path my life has followed. I never pictured my life *exactly* this way. But I think everyone probably experiences this, so I don't tend to dwell or get bogged down in regrets.
5. Are there things you'd dearly love to change but have never got around to changing?
Sure. I should go back to school. But guess what. I'm lazy. And I don't enjoy scructured education. I should lose weight. Again - laziness. And a lifestyle that makes shedding pounds with ease a little bit of a challenge.
So there you are. Answers. Of a sort. Probably not the best or most thought out, but answers nontheless.

I hope everything is ok and I want to read those answers!!
There was a message when I got home that everything was fine, so I guess it's ok. My husband is sick, though (with/from what I couldn't really say...) - I guess the universe decided that this week would be a good one to knock my ass around and put me in my place.
