What Is Your Dream?

okay, LAPs post got me thinking. (I am amazed everyday that I can do that again...lol..)
Anyway, a mentor in the program once asked me "What do you want in life? What are your dreams?" When I realized that I haven't thought about that for a long time, I wondered if I had any left. Then I thought about it, and came up with a few ideas:
I wanted a nice house, with a yard so I could have a puppy for my kids.
I wanted to travel, to see Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and the east coast.
I wanted my kids to grow up healthy, and to have great opportunities. (sp?)
MOST OF ALL, I WANTED to be okay in my own skin, and I WANTED SOME DAMN INNER PEACE..the kind of peace that "you people" promise me I will get if I work the steps and be honest.....a peace that I once had long ago.
With this peace, I wanted to be in the human race again, and enjoy people like I once had, not feeling like a f*** up and able to look people in the eyes.
Oh, and a little pipe dream....I WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY THE DRUMS AND PLAY WITH THE CHILI PEPPERS....I WANT TO JAM THE ZEPPHER SONG WITH FLEA...

That is a real nice dream you have Little Beach. What I'd really like is to have internally that magical zest(sp) for life like when you were a kid, and to be able to really enjoy it (inside) when I'm playing with my son & o have genuine ambition & motivation & lack of apathy were I don't have to always force it & drudge my way thru life. I honestly don't see how I can really achieve what I'd like, but it certainly is my dream.

Littlebeach:

Read Scar Tissue by Anthony Keides. It's an excellent book. It talks about the inception of the Chili Peppers.
