There is my old life - the life before I got married. The life where I was single, free, and determined to reach all of my goals. There was the newly married life where I was awkward, felt tied down, and didn't know what goals went where and now here I am in the present.
My present life shows me married (almost 4 years), determined, crossed off my 10 "life's to do" that I wrote back in college in 2001 with my girlfriends, and learning to build a life with someone and not just having my own life. I have to admit designing my life now is much different. I'm tied to someone. I'm tied to a bank account, a job, and a town that I call my own, but that doesn't mean it is the life I've always dreamed - it is just life.
There was a quote I ran across about this today and it got me thinking - what if I could design my life what would it look like? I am at a huge crossroads in my life. I'm between I've gotten the short list of things to do in my life done by 30 and re-examining what I want for the future. So lets start with my 31 things for my 31st year list. This has been part of me re-designing my life and going forward and it is fun to cross things off ( you will find it below and I've been busy! )
I think in the design of my life there are a few things I want:
- I want my home to be a place of peace and to entertain
- I want family and friends that honest, true, and faithful
- I want a strong relationship with my husband and best friend
- I want to take a vacation once a year
- I want to find financial security for myself
- I want to feel free even though there are things in life that confines us
- I want to be at a place where I am content with what my life holds and realize it
- I want to travel
- I want to keep learning and applying what I learn at work and in life
