Just taking a little longer to reach my goals than expected.

Wow...it's pretty much all completely unexpected! The things I bad things I thought would never happen have and some of the great the things I couldn't have imagined have.

Isn't life GREAT???

Trying to stay optimistic - but it's soo
much worse than I imagined!

Relatives are all doing well... but i'm so far behind

And THATS just what im talken about...

right there!

I love you too babe!

I thought I'd have one child and I have FIVE...Life is good!

My life has been filled with wonders and adventures that most people will never see, and also the worst and most vile things that I wish I had never seen. But every now and then you know it's always hard to tell....I'm still alive and well.

Never thought i would make it this far..

The differences were all in the details for me...lol. (i.e. not imagining the car accident that broke both legs, learning to walk again, divorce, etc.)

What I thought would happen when I was about 18 never happened. A lot of things happened that were out of my control. I learned from every experience.

never really had any plans about my future when I was a teen.. others all had these dreams for me like art school ( had a scholarship) but I went in the Navy instead since then? life has given me all I ever could of asked for.. no real disappointments and personally glad about the stage of life I have arrived to..

im still working on screwing over my future im doing a damn good job for six months on my own

My life has changed over the past few years, i'm a much better person then i used to be. I think my life is finally getting better. I never expected to get better, only worse.

I thought I'd end up as a musician, and I did that for awhile, but I ended up as a writer.

I thought I'd probably dabble with short-term, revolving-door relationships until I was about 30, and then find someone to get serious with; and then I found there is no one like that.

I thought the people I called "friends" were worthy of the title; but I found out that most of them weren't.

Overall, I'd say I've been generally pleased with what I've accomplished thus far, even though it might not have been what I originally planned. The downside has been the people in my life -- in that regard, I'd have to say I've been severely disappointed.

I thought I would be the first president of color <<< green that is...

Never thought I would be a widow at 39. Raising two daughters on my own. Working 12-14 hours 5 days a week. Never was much on family when I was growing up in my own...but now I am all about family. I guess losing someone you love makes it all so real.

Getting better everyday

I actually lived past 30. never thought I would


and I never got my flying car

Congrats to you on your accomplishments and good luck with your book...

i thought i'd develop great expectations
i thought my family life would begin in earnest in my mid 20s
i did not realize the power of sacrifice

i could not foresee that the greatest opportunities appear like a flash
i did not anticipate that awards would truly be empty for me
i was shocked by my own and others capacity to love

and children, i am always astonished by children

Me either and I am 66...
