Tell me what you want what you really really want part 2

In addition to being grateful for what I already have, I'm going to start making a list of things that I want and work on believing that I can have them and that I deserve them. 1.I want my children to have a lot of friends and to be happy. 2.I want to move to SC to be closer to my parents 3.
