What are you hoping for most in 2010?

I completely agree! Without dreams we have no goals and life loses meaning and hope. Hope is what gets me up to work some more on my new business even tho I am tired, there's more to do so up I get. And I know that with every day I am getting abit closer to my dreams. Hope is the fuel that my dreams need to thrive!!

What are your dreams, not in context to todays world rather generaly asking as every one has some personal ones also? love to be afriend of yours as through conversations people can come close to one another and share feelings with one another which in true sense is quite helpful so. will wait for your reply?

Thank you, Tallygirl! Well, spring festival is the biggest festival in China (just like your Christmas holiday), it's our new-year-celebration festival as lunar calendar(The traditional Chinese calendar).

Congratulations!!! How exciting. And a Spring time wedding sounds ideal as the earth renews itself, you are starting a new life too! What kind of Spring Festival? English is a tough language to learn but I have heard that Cantonese is far harder? Good Luck and Best Wishes!!! You have lots to be hopeful about and more to come!

I can relate..2009 was a very tough year for me emotionally and financially. So I share your hope for the New Year and wish you all the best! Hope is essential to my life that's for sure!

Finding a new job will bring so many blessings your way. Trust that he will bring you the right opportunity at the right time. I remember one job that I really wanted and didn't get,,,only to find out months later the company went out of business so I was in a much better position for not having gotten that one! And how special your mother knows you to be that you are thinking of her as part of your new goals!

Yeah my mom knows everything. I want to get a better job for me only because of her and so that I could serve her much better way. As she was betrayed of everything by her elder son and his wife, so I am her only hope and I, at any cost,don't want to let her hopes down. Though I want a companion for myself but I want her much for my mother as she loves talking to persons but don't get that help very much.

What kind of online job do you have? Have you thought about ways that you can ensure your success? Sounds like you are hoping for most of what makes most of us feel secure and hopeful. When my career is going well, I find that I am far healthier than when things are tough. Stress can weaken our immune systems badly. And I agree, with God all things are possible, providing it's his will. Best Wishes!!

What a great list of goals you have! And I couldn't agree more, Health is Wealth is so many ways! And if you focus on School more now, you will profit later with a better job. A Sales girl would be a fun job and you'd meet lots of nice people. Very best wishes for you and your family to have a happy healthy prosperous new year!!

Ah..that sounds wonderful. I think you may find that the trade off of a longer commute might well be worth it. There is nothing that brings a richer sense of peace to me than being in nature and having a peaceful home means so much. I used to live out in the country,,,,miles from town with a corn field across the road and a natural lake on the side of the house and I loved it. But it was abit too far from where I needed to be. I think I might want to move myself and find a more serene setting. I am in busy neighborhood and have a small backyard that is fenced in but my neighbors are right there. I miss looking out at the lake at all times of the day and breathing in the fresh green scented air....I think you might have given me a new goal to add to my list!! Best Wishes!!

Wow, such different goals but I think they could all fit well together. I do some of my best thinking when I am exercising and my mind can wander abit, that might work for you when you are planning your novel. And I lost 15 pounds by making small changes and working out abit every day but keeping it within reason. I have met some folks who feel guilty if they don't go to the gym or run every day. Not me! And I still have some weight to lose but by changing small things I know that I can keep it off and be so much healthier. And maybe moving to a new location will bring with it some inspirations for you with your novel...Best Wishes for an exciting year!

I think your feelings echo some many of us that are worried about our finances. All you can is your best job and maybe put together your resume and see what other options you might have. That way if it comes down to a job loss, you will be in a better position to move ahead and find another even better one. Wanting a home of your own is awesome and if you put your mind to it and start saving every week, you will be able to make that dream come true! And if you get a car that will also open up more options for a better job and give you a feeling of control. Public transportation is key to saving our environment, I feel but one does need to be able to get where one needs to be regardless of a timetable. Have you set a specific amount that you want to save? If you think of it that way, it'll be easier to get there! Best Wishes!!

Wow, you are taking on alot of different but exciting challenges! Have you ever considered keeping a journal? I do and it helps me stay focused on what is really important to me. Volunteering can go hand in hand with a few of your plans, it's made me reset what is important to me. When you see others in situations so much harder or different than your own, you grow and that's what we are all here for in my humble opinion. I volunteer at a Women's shelter and seeing what many have gone thru makes me so grateful for what I have. And I realize that I need to continue to help them since it also helps me but I think I get the better part of the deal! I wish you all the best!

How philisophical you are! I know that 2010 will be a great year since I am going to do everything I can to make it so. And congrats on getting healthier, it's amazing what small changes can do. I started working out and have stuck with it for about 6 months now and I feel better, sleep better and have so much more energy to take on new things. 2009 was a tough year for me but I learned alot and will take that with me into the new year. And it gives me more focus for my business which is a challenge of my own creation, just as yours have been. Best Wishes, tho I think you have a great attitude and plan to succeed!
