Hi pollyanna and Gus,
Thank you!
Pollyanna, there was nothing particularly special about what I wrote. What surprised me was that I'd often wondered in my mind what I would like to bring in to my life, but anything I came up with always felt unreal and superficial. When I started writing, it was as if something else came up from deeper inside me, and the things I wrote were not only different from the things I had previously thought about, they were things which I felt good about wanting because I knew they would benefit other people too.
I think the act of writing made me think from a little further below the surface as to what I could use from the perspective of improving my life and my family's life, rather than just simply wanting more because I believe that it is possible to have more. Or maybe my own sense of self-worth has improved recently and is now allowing me to feel that I deserve to ask for improvements!!
Love and peace to you both.
