I am who I want to be when I grow up

Keywords: Community , Family

I want to be kind, caring of others, not entirely focused on myself. I want to be a person who knows Jesus and the scriptures, who has a desire to lead others in their discovery of Him. I want to be a person who cares about the environment, and politics, and upcycled furniture, and flowers in the garden, who enjoys the world God created. I want to be a person who is generous with his time, knowing that all that we have is a stewardship and not owned by us.

I stand before this blog holding the budding ideas I want to undertake, and with enough impostor syndrome and inertia that I don’t know how to cure

Keywords: Reflecting On Water , literary doubts , working week , Writing

Oftentimes I am paralysed by the ways in which we carry on, more often than not defeating, and writing around it becomes difficult for me. (Although I have a lot to say.) I’m feeling doubtful that literature will be able to do justice to the narrative of our humanity right now, both fractured and flawless, but there is nothing else I know how to do well with my time.

I’m thinking in the village and cottage I’d want a major project to work on as I would have the time

Keywords: home , prompts , choices , cottage , experiences , journaling , regrets , say yes , wins

I’m trying to live with fewer regrets so renting a cottage filled this void. Something I had never done before so try it. There is nothing to lose. Well, I had a relaxing week of reading, painting, sitting on the deck doing nothing and walking the beach. I enjoyed it. I needed it. This was not what I was expecting but hello what I needed.

Now it is time to share my life and to enjoy the beauty that is romantic partnership

We don’t have the answers and we never will, but we will be okay. We have to be comfortable living in the questions because there are some questions that will never be answered. I may never reach my dream, and that makes me sad. But does that mean my life doesn’t have meaning or purpose? Of course not. We make meaning and purpose with every interaction we have with others and with our art, our poetry, our music, and our contributions to society…even through our mundane jobs and our relationships. Our purpose is whatever we make it. Our legacy is in every single way we relate to the world…through relationships with people, through conservation, through our perspectives both experienced and shared. I think I am ready to stop trying so hard to make an impact and, rather, start living, traveling, interacting, loving, and just being. I’ll never not be an intellectual; it’s who I am. I will never stop contemplating the big questions or trying to problem-solve the big issues we face, but I don’t need to constantly produce something. It is enough just to exist…to breathe…to be grateful…and to rest.

I want to work on creating a boundary where I can still get the work I need to do done, but also live my life outside of school

Keywords: {0}

I also want to work on slowing down and truly living, meaning less phone screen time, taking my time with meals, and going to new places, trying new things. Another big goal of mine is, while still trying to maintain this slowing down, to continue content creation. It has fulfilled the artistic and extroverted side of me and brings me more joy than I thought it would originally. So, feel free to continue following along on my journey!

There are fewer years ahead of me than behind, and there’s tons of things I still want to do

Keywords: age , creativity , fun , grandkids , time , blogging , getting older , grandkids , wanting it all

I’ve given up dreams of visiting the museums of Rome or wandering through the moors of Scotland. Discovering the planet China is off my list, too. But I can still do things that make me happy, that make me proud. I’m just running out of time to do them.

The activities or hobbies which we do make time precious

So, yesterday my husband and I talked about my hobbies and that I can’t sit down and just do one of them for 30 minutes. I like having at least one hour for it. He said that he would like to see me sitting down and surprise him what I would do. Because of that, I thought I blog about them and face how time consuming hobbies I really have. 🙂

To grow old, to be beside my children for all the moments of their lives, to be an example of someone they’d want to be like

Take me, take these words, and hold me to it as I do the work of changing so that I do not die and leave before my hair is grey and my hands are tired. It is all I want, to have time.
