Posted in Lessons I Have Learned

My 6 year old daughter asked me the other day what I wanted to be when I grew up back when I was a kid.  Without even thinking about it I answered:

1. A wife
2. A mother
3. A teacher
4. A writer

As soon as I finished rattling off my list she replied "No, Mom those are all the things you really are, what did you want to be?"  WOW, she is right I am all those things and believe it or not that is REALLY what I wanted to be!  God is good!

Wife & Mother - When I was a kid I wanted nothing more that to be a wife and mother.  It was not an easy path the way I thought it would be, but the difficult journey was certainly worth it!

Teacher - A year or so ago my Mom sent me a little book I had made in school when I was young.  It was an All About Me book and for "What do you want to be when you grow up?"  I wrote Teacher!  My Mom had put a little yellow post-it note next to it and wrote "Looks like you got this right!"  Yep, I sure did and in a better way than I could have even imagined way back then!

A Writer - Because of my blog I am able to write every day and people actually read what I am writing!  YAY!!!!  (It never cease to amaze me that people are reading this!)

It is good feeling to realize I have accomplished so many of my goals.  I do find it funny that I managed to do them all in a way that I make absolutely NO money doing any of them!  LOL  (That is very ME, I have always been better at spending money than making it!  LOL)
