The life I want

I want to have a life in the future where I get up early and work in my huge madly producing garden. I want to be out there alone to feel the coolness of the summer day and feel the stillness of the morning.


I want to come in to wake up my children with smiles and the BYU cougar fight song. I want to teach them to be morning people...like me.


I want to sit around a table in a small kitchen that is inviting and has bright beams of light pouring through the windows. I want to sit across from the ear doctor and love him more that morning that I've loved him the day before.


I want to create a place where fun and laughter reverberate off the walls and where kitchen dancing is a daily occurrence.


I want to teach my children to think of others and perform service every day. I want them to feel the joy of making someone's day.


I want to eat food saturated with the flavor of hard work and love.


I want to have a house dedicated to worshipping what is right and true. A place where respect and acceptance is understood. A place were unconditional love for all people is fostered and judgement is left in the hands of one infinitely more qualified to do so.




Thanks for the inspiration to write this down today, Nie Nie.
