Life.

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?

  1. 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"!

  2. I 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.
