As I grow older I find myself thinking of what it is I truly and honestly want to see happen in my life. In reality I have innumerable blessings and it’s probably wrong of me to desire more. I’ve been incredibly blessed with a loving family. We care about each other. We go that extra mile to help each other out and our bond is a blessing not all families are fortunate enough to share. I’m not going to say we haven’t had a few tough times but we’ve always pulled together and made things work.
I have the love of a man I’ve searched for my entire life. Neither of us is perfect and our life together isn’t perfect even though I portray it that way as much as I possibly can on Facebook! We disagree and upset each other at times but we have a love that goes beyond anything either of us ever thought possible. We aren’t married and perhaps we never will be but life will go on and so will our love.
I realize it’s wrong to desire material things but I find myself hoping to see the day I am able to help finance a beautiful home. If you were able to take a peek into my perception of beautiful you might be surprised as that home in my mind isn’t a massive structure lavished with nothing but the best materials but rather a blank canvas where I’m at liberty to express all the artistic possibilities I find myself harboring deep within my soul. Years ago I did get the chance to express my creativity but that part of my life is over now and I moved on knowing that I packed everything I would need to make some pretty wonderful things happen yet again, when the chance arrives.
The two things I’m about to add next will probably sound quite silly but they’re on my list. For starters I would love to see what it feels like to park my car in a garage. I have never had that luxury and neither has my car. We’ve been together since May of 2011 and not once have we experienced a home style garage. We’ve pulled through a few car washes and into a garage for scheduled maintenance but I’m pretty sure it’s not the same. Perhaps it isn’t all that wonderful but I’d like to try it and form my own opinion.
The second silly thing I’m hoping for is to have a home with two bathrooms. I’m not sure why but even if there’s only two people living in a house, nature tends to call at the very same time for both more often than not and if you’re like me, you’re the one that gets to “hold it” just a little bit longer! If you’ve ever lived in a one bathroom home with at least one other person, I’m quite sure you’ll agree!
On the work side of my desires, I would love to see what it would feel like to be paid well for a job well done. I’m to blame for all the low paying jobs I’ve had in my life as I opted not to head off to college once I finished high school but I’ve never had a job when I wasn’t entrusted to a set of keys and a sizable amount of responsibility. Just once it would be so nice to be fairly compensated for being a hard working, trustworthy employee that pays attention to detail and gives it her all.
The thing I love most about my list is that everything on it is completely possible. I have two eyes that see, two ears that hear, two hands that type, two legs that walk and a mouth that talks and if I can get all of them working together in harmony I might just find myself picking out swatches of paint possibilities, shelving for tools in the garage and enjoying the sound of two toilets flushing at the very same time!
