A friend asked on my previous post if I know what I want the next decade to be like or look like...
I have spent some time thinking about this and have started formulating a picture and ideals.. I feel like I have a lot of life to live...lots more to say...and maybe even prove.
As I spoke about in my last post..life has been sort of hard to walk thru for me...I still struggle putting it into words but I know it is real...So I still find myself being hesitant. I find myself thinking I will do it tomorrow...
So here I sit... today I made a big move (saving this for another post) and I feel a sense of excitement. I have come to realize that tomorrow is today..
Solitude
My dad was a quiet peaceful man. He had this shed in our backyard. Most evenings and weekends you could be found out in the shed just putzing...I feel I have inherited that gene. I do love spending time with my family ...but I also crave the solitude. I love spending time just hanging out alone..quiet..cleaning...reading..napping...walking...
One thing this next part is going to have is purposeful solitude...
Faith
Again I am drawing on characteristics of my dad... He had a strong desire to be faithful. This faith falter along the way...which I noticed but never got a chance to ask about...and perhaps this faith stuff has a lot to do with solitude..but I know that for me to feel complete I need to pray and be a good listener
Health
My health/self esteem/well being is greatly tied into how I feel when I look into the mirror. I know that it is a lot of hardwork..but if I want to be "there" for my family I need to build into the next decade a sense of being a good steward of my body.
I have other things I want to accomplish...to do...to seek out...and they will become clearer as I go...but for now.. Solitude/Health/Faith are the top three...What is your next decade going to be about?
Hopefully my kids. In the next 10 years my son will be in his last couple years of high school and my daughter will be almost old enough to drive. I need to spend as much time with them as possible. I'm not always the best mother, so I hope my next decade is about being the best mother that I can be. Thanks for stopping by and joining the Miracle Gro giveaway!
