Someday....

Sometimes I get so caught up in the chaos of each day that I forget that each day builds upon the previous day until the future has been built upon a whole foundation of chaotic days! Today I just needed to sit and think about what my dreams for the future are, and whether or not I am building that future in the chaos of each day.

Someday...

• I hope to have 4 children
• I will be good at keeping my house and staying organized.
• I will spend my summers swimming, camping, wake boarding and going to exciting places with my family and friends.
• I will spend my winters going on ski trips and other adventures with my family and friends.
• I will attend 1 scrap booking retreat per year.
• I will go away with Mike somewhere hot once a year (for fun, not for work).
• I willPlay the piano daily.
• I will Write something worth publishing.
• I will go shopping with my girls and listen to their thoughts and experiences over smoothies in the mall.
• I will go camping with my boys and be the camp cook and cheer them on in their rambuctios adventures, and let them teach me orienteering, and how to skin a deer and other manly skills.
• I will visit my grandparents often and learn the old recipes that fed my childhood summers.
• I will spend time with my parents and enjoy the experience of them enjoying my children's experiences.

I'm delighted to discover that I am well on my way to achieving my dreams. Some of these I am already living, others are in sight. This makes my heart glad and takes my mind off of the little niggiling details that make me feel like I'm a hamster on a wheel going no where. I am going in the direction I want to go, and that makes me happy.
