It is so...real. Just ...This is an incredible post. It is so...real. Just down to earth and glaringly TRUE.<BR/><BR/>When I was a kid, I had stock dreams too. I was going to study hard in college, work for the Peace Corps, do something language-related, teach, and basically save the world. Just run-of-the-mill ordinary stuff ("Today, I think I'll stop global warming and tomorrow, if I've got some free time, maybe I'll end world hunger.")<BR/><BR/>Then I grew up.<BR/><BR/>I lived abroad and translated texts and taught foreign languages and thought: Peace Corps? Hell to the no! I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and thought: study and stress through college? NO FRIGGIN WAY. I studied, socialized, worked, and took it easy. I can remember that point in time when I suddenly realized that my life wasn't going how I planned and I DIDN'T HAVE A BACKUP PLAN!<BR/><BR/>Today my goals are different. I want to marry the man I love and raise a family with him. I want to work hard to maintain a good relationship with my parents and my sisters. I want to cherish my family above my work, celebrate my faith before I celebrate my birthday, write a letter to my future MIL before writing a blog post. And that? Is really all I've got. The rest is all a big to-do list.<BR/><BR/>I think this is one of the best posts I have ever read.

It's so easy to feel like you do nothing, accomplish nothing, as a parent, as you go along and check things off the to-do list. Thanks for a different view, a reality check. <BR/><BR/>"Keep moving, keep plugging, don't look back..." <BR/><BR/>Wonderful!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350861069153040567noreply@blogger.com
