I'll go first.
I really want to make more GF's. The ones I have are kinda drifting off and I'd like to meet new ones. I need more girls to go out with.
At the same time, I am scared shitless of meeting new people. Trying to get the courage to sign up for a meet up or new sports league tonight.

Lose the weight I gained post-marital implosion. I never lost weight like most people. 
And I'd really like to get my back yard landscaped the way I want it.

I would love to join some sort of group. Heck, I'd love to just go back to Divorce Care for a start; a group member called and said that they were wondering how I was.
I would love to sing again with a group, or I'd even be content right now with joining a knitting circle or writers' group. With three little guys and a limited budget, though, I just don't have the childcare resources at the moment, so that will have to wait a while.

I would love to get back into landscape designing but I started a new career path shortly after my divorce that allowed me to put my girls through school. It was more important at the time than job satisfaction. SO and I are talking about maybe doing a little work on the side this summer that would incorporate my design and plumbing skills and his carpentry.

*sigh* I'd like to start my own business, buy a small farm and raise heritage animal breeds. Not too much to ask, right?

I'd like to lose the divorce weight (I'm working on it but when you're over 50 it is slow going).
I'd like to be confident and brave enough to start dating. I'm seriously contemplating an online dating profile, but it may take me a while to actually do it!

I'd like to find a social life. I've joined a few meetups but havent gotten to go to anything yet. I'm horrible at introducing myself in social settings and would like to learn to just relax and have a good time.

I want to complete my Master's Degree. I want to learn the drums (actually learn them and not just bang around on them.) I want to become fluent in Spanish. I want to learn basic Japanese. And I want to get back into the same shape I was 5 years ago, get a little surgery done, and get a tattoo.

I have always wanted to learn to play the piano. The only thing holding me back is not having a piano, lol! So, I guess the first step would be looking for a good used piano.
