Is there something you have long for in the past or have wanted when u were like a kid and still its in your system now and still you want to have it or fulfill it? whether its a thing or a place you want to go?
Ok let me start.
I grew up in a poor family where i have 7 siblings. Meaning we cannot have things like toys as normal kids do. I always wanted to have a doll when I was a kid. I remembered one time, i made a doll out of old socks but of course it was not so nice but just the thought of having a doll was enough at that time.
Until when i was already in college, still i wish for a doll and even when i was already married, still the desire was there but i just ignored it since i felt awkward coz I was already a mom. But just Last month, i saw a very nice rug doll. It was so inviting asking me to buy her. I ignored it. BUT, yesterday she was still there ... Having those big beautiful eyes, tiny lips ., cute brown hair and purple dress. It was like she was saying" buy me , buy me" I have thought for a while, and i guess its time for me to have my first doll. Now i got my lovely " dollie". My son was teasing me why i bought myself a doll but when I explained to him .... He was ok with it.

Ronie, you must have a rather mature son to understand your reasoning. Compliments to you for finally getting out and doing something that has been on your list for that length of time. I certainly hope it made you feel good about yourself. Gifts that we can give ourselves like that are probably the most special gifts we will ever get.
It seems to me, no matter what your age is, you set a goal, then go get what you want. ( within reason of course- no illegal activity is allowed).
I still enjoy a lot of things kids enjoy, chocolate milk with breakfast being at the top of the list. I don't think we need to "settle" for anyone else's definition of what will make us happy, that is for us to decide as individuals, and only us.
I'm just now reminded of the signature on the old site " Say what you mean and do what you feel, because those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter" -- Dr. Seuss
I've lived most of my life with an attitude like that, even though at some point I had to get a job, pay rent, and all that other ugly "adult" type behavior... I'd rather be a carefree kid again, but I don't think that is an option anymore..

I agree Billy that we should always have that child in us.
Gina, i like what you have said. Richness of having a happy family is more glorious than richness of material things.
