<p>Well, to refine my last post, though I’d love to be a widely published writer, being able and having the time to write is really what’s important to me. If I get more time, I get to experience my “goal” anew every day.</p>
<p>Actually, if I get to walk on the beach every day with my beloved, life is pretty good, too! 
even if I never write another word.</p>
<p>While my younger daughter hasn’t seemed to have made much progress on her childhood dream of being a firefighter/police officer/ballerina, she has at 19 made a * great deal* of progress on her dream of visiting all the continents ( so far Antarctica, is last…if there is anything left 
)</p>
<p>In middle school she traveled to Hawaii & NY/DC, in high school, to Ghana, via the Netherlands and after high school India, UAE, with a side trip through the U.K.</p>
<p>Next up I believe is Australia, probably while in college, although her Columbian aunt is also planning on taking her nieces back to visit Bogot</p>
