TTC after 35

Sorta poll: Tell me something good, but not TTC related!

 2. What is something you're really good at?

3.  What personality trait of yours do you like best?

4. What is your favorite physical characteristic?

    Hi, everyone.

    I am feeling the need to remind myself of all of the good things I have in my life - and that there is so much more to my life than this TTC business.  I thought others might feel the same. So....Yes, I am definitely feeling like this lately and am also trying to focus more on the good things in my life.  So, great poll!

     1. Share something non-TTC related that you are looking forward to. DH and I love to travel and have taken a 3-4 week trip together the last 4 years when our business is slow at the end of the year.  We aren't sure where we will go this year.  It depends on how much more real estate we sell.  Places under consideration are Australia, Turkey & Greece, Ecuador.

     2. What is something you're really good at? Decorating my house, but maybe everyone thinks that.  Planning things (events, trips, etc).

    3.  What personality trait of yours do you like best? I am a good listener.

    4. What is your favorite physical characteristic? My height (5'10"), although I hated it when I was young.

    3.  What personality trait of yours do you like best?                                    My empathy.  It really helps to understand people when you can put yourself in their shoes.

    4. What is your favorite physical characteristic?  My smile.

    Ooo! Thanks, Holly!

    One of my best friends grew up in San Juan, and her parents live there. We will be staying there part of the time, and hanging out in the old city. Plus, my pal's mom wants to show us the rain forest "before someone ruins it"

    So anything in that neck of the woods, I've got covered.

    I'm also interested in the phosphorescent bay. :)

    Do you have any other suggestions for us?

    ((I'm practically jumping up and down over here! I want to go NOW!!)
