What makes you happy? What is your American Dream?
nfnaaron: What makes me happy, short term:  - Laughing with my son (12 years old).
  - Seeing my son happy and positive.
  - Being "in flow," engrossed in a task and making progress.

Long term goals:  - To see my son's independent life unfold in a positive direction.
  - Making a secure living, however and wherever I choose.
  - Being secure after I choose not to work (or can't work).
