Phew! I think I have just had a 'click' moment! Thank you KC, Tricia and Cheri for having this 'conversation'. It ties in with some pondering that I have been doing just recently and has helped another piece of the jigsaw of life slot into place.

MMmmmmm, off to do some more pondering..................

Thanks again, Greying.

Am loving all this talk on here and certainly food for thought.It's amazing how our priorities change over time and how what we think we want changes especially at different life stages...I appreciate the simpler things in life now and my biggest learning curve since becoming ill is not to worry over things I can't change or are out of my control as negative energy is wasted energy.I am so much calmer and at peace with myself.

I definitely like living in this day and age :j:j Not that long ago, people scattered over the country - indeed all over the world - could not have tapped into this sort of conversation. And so quickly! This conversation only started yesterday afternoon and I've not only learned a lot but also had reassurance that I'm not the only person who ponders these things. :cool:

Have a good day, everyone. I'm busy booking the next 4 or 5 weeks away in the caravan. East Anglia - my old stamping ground. :j:j:j

So true, so true. Wave as you go by the west end of the North Norfolk coast - I'm up there for the 3rd week in July!

Yep, things are more or less sorted for the off now ... the rain is showery - heavy but not constant - so I'm sure I'll get out. Shutting down now, so if I don't get back on before you go, have a *great* weekend :j

Loving everybodies plans...strangely I don't know what I want in the future as I've spent all my adult life looking after 5 kids and working very long shifts and have lost sight of who I am or what I want if that makes sense.
I used to be motivated by earning loads and having loads of nice things and fantastic holidays but now i no longer work..partly through choice and partly through circumstance but am now at my happiest even though we have far less money coming in.
I have the time to spend with the kids or grand children or to do what I wish.I count my blessings every day that I have a wonderful husband who would do anything for me,fantastic kids and grandchildren,plenty of lovely friends on here,a roof over my head...which will be paid off in the next few years and we have the taxi so nobody can sack us as we work for ourselves,we have savings in case of any catastrophe so that we can still pay the bills...I have had excellent medical care for my cancer and each day I wake up is another day to be embraced...I am indeed a lucky person

Hunstanton? Don't forget to look for Ammonites. There are lots in the cliffs. :j:j And sharks teeth. :eek:

We'll be south of Norwich by then. 12 nights near Bungay from next Monday, then 12 nights near Diss and then down into Suffolk, near Lavenham :j:j for 14 nights.

Iread that post when I posted it and was in two minds to delete it as it went off on a tangent away from everybodies dreams/hopes(as in the fact I didn't know what mine were and I was trying to explain that)...am glad I left it now..LOL...
