Well I hope that I will be in this house still and have a teaching, writing, or editing job. I also hope that I will be healthy enough to still be hiking. And still with my husband.

I see myself hiking more each year and finally meeting goals. Hopefully I will be back from hiking the Oregon or Washington section of the PCT.

This time in five years, I should be preparing for Thanksgiving with my family. We will be gathering at one of three houses. I would be baking breads and pies.

But my biggest place I want to be in five years is a good state of mind where I feel good about myself and what I have done.
