Seven Wants: These can be fictional, right?
1. A baby. Pretty explanatory.
2. To be at my goal weight. I know I'm getting there, but it's taking so long. Yes, I know that means I probably won't be gaining my weight back, but it's still frustrating!
3. Our debts paid off. We'll get there. In about 45 years.
4. A house. Again, we'll get there, I'd just love to have the money to build our house now.
5. A personal shopping assistant who pays for the clothes they pick out. A girl can dream, right.
6. A better relationship with God - I'm working on it.
7. To appreciate each day and not spend each day looking forward to the next step in life. Seriously. Look at these wants. They're all eventually going to happen (hopefully), except for the personal shopping assistant. Life is going to fly by if I don't appreciate each day for what it is. Spending time with my family and loving where I'm at, even if it's not where I want to be.

Tell me:
Do you appreciate each day, or spend too much time looking forward, or backwards for that matter?
What are some of your wants? Real or off the wall crazy.
I really try to appreciate every moment. I used to only look ahead or back. This year I have been working on enjoying my now. I think I live a more fulfilled life approaching it this way.
ReplyDeleteI have a want.... I want to be free from food addiction. I am working on it- but it has a tight hold on me!!!
I'm right there with you on the goal weight!! I've lost 30 lbs so far, but have been stuck at 160 for a MONTH! (a very delicious month, but I digress..) gah. Part of me is so impatient to keep losing, and the other part of me keeps having to reign myself in and remind myself that 30 pounds is a lot, and I look and feel so much better - to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm so there in the looking forward thing. Lately, it has been ZOMGBABIES, and our wedding is over a year away! I feel like my lady parts are betraying me, because these are the last years of freedom to just enjoy my time with my fiance and be selfish (and drink! probably related to comment 1) but I feel like all I see are BABIES! OMGCUTEBABIES! and it makes me crazy!
lovely list!
ReplyDeletenew follower and happy to have stumbled upon your blog!
happy weekend!

misadventures of a chunky goddess
I was in the same place with wanting #1 and #2 at the SAME time. Now that I'm pregnant, I guess goal weight might be slightly unattainable for a while. Unfortunately my major want is still for my husband to find a job (I've moved past hoping for good and in to any). Everything else I want (a house) will have to wait until he is gainfully employed.
