I have done very similar lists before as this one and I can' begin to tell you how hard it was to do the first time I did it. Very seldom is it acceptable by society standards to think on ourselves this deeply and we don't. Most of us have never thought about what we need, rather we're taught to take what we get and do our best with it, I also can't tell you how worth it it is to put forth the effort to answer these questions for yourself even if you don't share them with anyone else.

This list was hard for me because many of them seemed to be asking the same thing but once I got passed that it wasn't as hard.

01. What do you want? Peace

02. What do you need? Safety

03. What is your greatest fear? My mother and father

04. What is your dearest wish? That my grandchildren and daughter will be safe

05. What do you need to be happy? A lot less than the last time I did this list but for the moment, Butter Pecan Ice Cream would at least make me smile!

06. What is your ambition? To leave those I love better off than I found them.

07. What is your greatest talent? I have many. Not sure which is best...I guess writing

08. What is your most formidable obstacle? Self confidence--or rather lack of it

09. Who is your worst enemy? I don't think I have one---it's a waste of energy

10. With what part of your life are you satisfied? My grandchildren, my friends

11. What is your misery in life? That I'm not self-reliant anymore

12. What part of your life would you change a failed effort? I would have been a better shot---Just kidding!

13. What part of your life would you change in the next year? Have my own apartment or living space. Possibly drive again

14. What is your mission? To live well.
