When you find yourself in the middle of the winter doldrums, sometimes it's fun to sit down with your favorite beverage, grab a notebook and pen, and create your ultimate wish list. This is the time to give the "dreamer" in you free reign. Don't hold back. Don't judge your wishes. Don't limit yourself by what you believe is possible.

Remember a time when you were little, and you felt the world was your oyster. Life seemed filled with endless possibilities, and nothing seemed impossible. Your dreams were enormous, and your belief in your ability to achieve them was rock solid. Bring this dreamer along with you as you create your list, and have fun!
