When I first started this list of "goals" - I combined a list of some of my dreams, wishes and needs as well. I do not cross things off this list intending to never look back, I cross them off with the full intent of bettering myself because of it, and helping myself grow.
When I wrote down goal #3, it was because it was one of those things I could have done years ago, but I was too chicken. I was also impatiently waiting for someone else to do something to make it easier for me. I suppose that something finally happened, but whatever the reason, it still took me a heck load of gumption as well as a "what do I have to lose? -- wait, don't answer that" mentality.
I wrote to my half brother. Or sent him an online message, I should say. Within 48 hours I'd heard back. It was just like that. My goal is crossed off the list - but not the goal of forming a relationship. That is something that will take time, work, and persistence on both parts. I'm just so glad I finally took that first step.
My life is different now - in a wonderful way.
