Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I always dreamed of living in a cabin in the woods like in the Little House book. And I dreamed of living by the ocean. When we went to Alaska I fulfilled both dreams at once. lol We lived in the woods in a cabin surrounded by forest, hauled our water from the creek, used kerosene lamps for light, etc. And we were only 5 miles from the ocean. There were parts of our property where we could see the ocean and the active volcano across the bay. It was beautiful and it was so peaceful. The big drawback was it was 2 miles from the closest road and I hate feeling "stuck". But my heart is in Arizona and I'm glad I'm back. Now what is my next lifetime dream? I want to live on a farm again (like the one we sold when we went to Alaska) and have chickens, ducks and goats. I loved my milk goats! I learned how to milk and my hand strength increased dramatically. My neuro even commented on it. I told him to tell his other patients with hand weakness to just start milking goats! Sharon Re: scary morning!/cassy IM glad your doin beter. Astropsycisist. HOW cool would that be?To study space and always be at a telescope?When I was younger I use to love learning about space,and watching for hrs. Through a telescope.When I was in 6th grade I wanted to be a lawyer so bad.lol.My teacher told me id make a great one.Then when I went back to school(college) I soooo wanted to be a dentist but chose the career that took less time in school.The ice cream and flower shop was one of them things I wanted to have on my "to do list" in my lifetime,along with parashuting( witch I will do 1 of these days) and a hot air baloon ride,and niagara falls.Your right we do have to find dreams to accomadate us.But I think were theres a will theres a way,dreams can come true. I have come to the realization I cannot have the career of my dreams but I will check a few of my to do list items off.lol.I dont know what the rule would be on me parachuting with my disability but I wont take no for an answer.Any volunteers to go with me?

I have to check my blood 4 times a day. and she gave me the okay to go back to work on wed. I'll be seeing the new neuro on april 24th. Ohh, he's gonna love me (not!) I'm not a very cooperative patient, because I'm hard headed and think I know whats best for me! I definately have to get over that, I'm working on it! thanks for asking. Late night Ice Cream Shop! you are too funny, but I understand dreams. I always wanted to have a traditional Italian coffee bar, complete with books, poetry and jazz nights and local artists to feature thier work, years ago I had all the business plannning done with vendors and so forth, but couldn't get the funding at the time. Thank God, I didn't it would kill me know and little did I know , at that time I was beginning with my MS symptoms that no one coud figure ot what I had! The flower shop is great, I used to work as a designer for them full time several years ago. But because of my spasms I can't design any more, I answer the phones and take orders and make an occasional loose bouquet. I try to design at home because it frustrates me, the things I can't do any more. It comes out better at home because ther is no time limit, I can take as long as I want, and if I screw up, I can swear and start all over again! Dreams are good, but I think we need to get new dreams that will accomodate us! Yah, I wanted to be an astrophysicist too! try to figure that one out! good talking to you cassy and I hope all goes well with you. Thanks again.
