When I turned 40, I promised myself I was going to do three things

1) Have a made to measure suit

2) Have a decent holiday

3) Get my teeth fixed

Well, 40 was in April, but I delayed for a whole heap of reasons, most of all my mum's illness and susequent death in June

But, about a month ago, I looked at myself in the mirror and screamed " I am mad as hell and just not going to take it anymore"

So, in the last month, I have

1) Had my first sitting for a rather nice dark houndstooth suit and some cotton shirts

2) Booked a holiday to New Zealand to tour wineries

3) above all, I had my top set of braces fixed. Still got to have the bottom done ( fear of extractions ) but am at least on the path

I often gave my mum reason's not to be proud of me ( although she always was. Now at least I have done all the things I promised her I would do

Wow congratulations on taking the steps to actually complete some of the items on your personal "to-do" list.
I really think that personal "to-do" lists are very helpful in allowing one to achieve certain goals.

Best of luck with your treatment.

Your post touched my heart - that is sweet of you to remember your mom as you make such a great change in your life. As a mom myself I know how happy seeing your kids happy can make you. I'm sure your mom is smiling down on you! Best of luck.
