Goals, Hopes, and Dreams

I have a lot of goals, but mostly hopes and dreams. It seems that no matter how hard I try I don't seem to get very far on my hopes or dreams, but I suppose that is life. None the less I still hold on to the possiblity that one day I will make it.

Goals. For the month of August I have the goal of making at least $400. Last month I made about $260, plus I won a $50 gift card. This month I should make nearly $300 and should win a $100 gift card. So, I think that $400 should be something that I can indeed do.

Hopes. I really hope that I can continue to grow my income to something that is really worth talking about. A few hundred dollars is certainly nice, but it would be even nicer to make a few thousand dollars.

Dreams. Right now my family is in Midland, Texas. My husband and I don't really like it here. It is too hot in the summer, ugly, with a lack of things to do. We would love to move back to Grand Rapids, Michigan. However, in order to do that we need to have money to move and have a large enough income that we can live. While living there is a lot less costly, getting a job could be hard. Because of that I would have to make a decent amount of money. I would also love to make enough that my husband could stay home and work on his books full time. He is a very good fantasy writer and has a lot of stories inside of him just waiting for enough time to get them out on paper.

So, while hopes and dreams may take awhile, I am hoping that monthly goals will help me work from where I am at to where I need to be in order for us to have the life that we want.
