- produce a splendid book proposal
- support my son during his final high school year
- make regular dates with my daughter for hot drinks/chatting
- watch Perry Mason more often with Tim (de de dah, dum dah)
- spend more time with my parents and parents-in-law
- give encouragement to writers who travel the creative road an experiential step or so behind me
- be genuine
I don't want to:- pretend I've arrived at anything
- ignore my loved ones while in pursuit of my goals
- grasp at trying to maintain control of my children's lives
- take Tim for granted
- put off moments with my/our parents
- feel obliged to follow well-meant advice when my instincts say "no!"
- forget the truly important, not-of-this-world, life substance and sustenance for my soul
