Where are you going.....What do you want..??

ScoobySnax

Everything keeps changing all the time. 5 years ago, I never thought I'd be where I am today. Its not all been nice, had some shit times, but some good times too.

The JW thing is always in limbo with me, and thats me and won't be changed until I'm ready. But aside from that, my family understand me as the person I am now as opposed to the person I tried to pretend I was, and the person they thought I was. Its much happier and open and that is a weight off my shoulders, I can be me. I still want so much more, always striving to be that bit more happier, but on the whole its 100% better for me.

Where are you now, and where do you see yourself in 5 years time from now? Where do you want to be? What do you want?

Just being nosy...

5 years from now I hope to back in Kentucky living, maybe working at the new prison. I hope to rekindle all my old friendships (non- jw's of course). I hope to be debt free and maybe finally be ready to start a family. I hope to regain the happiness and self content I once had while living there( one of the few times in my turbulent life) and hopefully this depression will have lifted. I need to reclaim my life

got my forty homey?

I'm pretty much where I want to be now. Summers coming, BBQ grill is ready, beers in the fridge, decent job, love my wife. In five years I hope we all are going to be here with all this muslim war nonsense going on. Will they succed and destroy the earth? Will this Gulf War mean the end of the United States?

Lets hope for the best.

I am going to the bathroom and . . .

I want it to be painless this time.

Hi scooby

You said,"I can be me."

Wowie. That is exactly how I feel about at the present time.

I am at a point where I can say. I can be me.

There used to be so much inner turmoil for such a long long time. Now I'm just me and accepting of who I am. Not as easily ruffled up anymore..not so many emotional peaks and valleys at the moment.

In five years time, I expect to be exactly where I am. Same place, same channel raising my family and supporting them in the decisions that they make. I'm looking forward to watching and my kids grow and become young adults.

I guess I look forward too.. to more time with my husband. These growing kids years have been a wonderful joint venture of ours but we are looking foward to more time alone to doubt on each other.

I also think I'd like to have a new PUPPY!.. I love dogs. Just something to tide me through when the oldest child moves out of the house.

sincerely

Cool questions, Scooby! Hmm, in five years I will be almost 54, Jennie will be almost 16 and Jackson will be 13. What I would like is a good relationship with both of them even though they're teenagers, and my relationship with Big Tex to be just as comfortable and loving as it is now, only more so. I would like to be debt free because that would mean I FINALLY have a handle on this mysterious thing called a "budget." I would like to have at least two, maybe three, bassets. Unless I win the lottery I'll still be working, so I hope that I can use my creativity in whatever I am doing (though I'll probably still be here at the law firm babysitting my whiny-baby law partners). And I would like to still have my health.

I'm concentrating on getting my life straightened out in the next two years.
The additional following three are a little vague at the moment.

Meanwhile I'm continuing to enjoy new friends, and getting to know them better
It's a whole new world out there, so I intend to boldly go...

(darn, that sounded far too Trekish, but I guess ya know what I mean)

it's hard to look that far down the road, but time really does fly. in 5 years, i too hope to be debt free. i'm working on that plan right now and it sucks. professionally, i hope to be just as successful as i am now, only making a little more money (heehee). well, and if i really get my way......the business my sister and i are trying to start will really take off and in my wildest dreams we'll be sitting on stage at the Tonight Show smack dab between the Teutuls and Jesse James. *snap* back to reality. 5 years: debt free, owning (or in the process of) a home, and truly happy.......

The JW thing is always in limbo with me,

Scooby,

Did you feel that way recently?

Anyway, Where is Ozzie at? Ozzie's here. Been here a few years now. Will he stay for another 5? Who knows! Will you?

I come to JWD for sharing, but my "real life" has moved far from the Borg, even though we're still close!

Life beyond the Watchtower is to know what real freedom's like. Try it, you'll see I'm right.

Cheers, Ozzie

Sorry Ozzie, just saw your reply.

No its not a recent thing with me, that part of my life (JW) will always be in limbo, I think eventually something will snap and I'll be either on the Governing Body, or the worst most foulmouthed rabid apostate you ever met........then again it'll probably just tick over for me like the last few years!! (lets not go there!)

Maybe I'll concentrate on the debt thing for now
