A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body
- the wishbone.
(Robert Frost.)
Today I found myself wishing;
Wishing I had more time in the day.
Wishing I had my own home.
Wishing I had a bigger kitchen and bigger closet.
Wishing our new project would just take off.
Wishing my parents lived closer.
Wishing I had more time to do crafts and projects.
Wishing I had more time to read.
Wishing I had more time to write.
Wishing for more time with my husband.
Wishing for more money.
Wishing we could go to Hawaii.
Wishing that I could get a new car.
My list of wishing seemed endless today.
Then tonight as I held and rocked my son, I realized that I need to stop wishing and live life.
He won't be this small forever.
Someday I will have other children and it won't be just me and him anymore.
My life is incredible.
I have an amazing Husband who works so hard for our family. I have the perfect little boy who makes me the happiest mommy in the world.
I have family and friends who love me.
A roof over my head and food on my table.
So why do I let myself get lost and distracted in the wishing when I know I have work to do?
Wish list. You will just have to wait.
Do you ever find yourself lost in wishing readers?
Leave a comment.
I'd love to hear.
xo.

Ky, think we all go through days like this! I keep wishing that our lives would be more settled, but this IS our life! It's not a dress rehersal! So I baked a pie! Everything is better when you can do something for someone else. It was a good pie, so I heard. Random, feeling a bit "squirrelish"!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate with this post. It's just so important to focus on now and all the great things you have. I know I will miss it someday.
