Inspirational Kind of Day

 Today was an inspiring day. I was able to really think about the future and dream a little.

I found this quote (above) from another blog that I really enjoy following. The post for that particular day came from an all to familiar feeling of "the great unknown"...or future.

Recently I've found myself dreaming of the future without really having a goal in mind. I know that I want a family and I can't wait until the day when I can stay home with my children and enrich their lives with awesomeness! But since we're waiting for that day to arrive, the meantime is here and I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. Where do I want to be for the next couple of years - until these little angels come into my life? What do I want to be spending my time on and using my energy toward? Well, yesterday I might have had a small epiphany of what I want in life.

I've always known that my passion lies with children. I love their innocence and their love for life. I love understanding the way their little, but GREAT, brains work and what really makes them thrive. I enjoy this part of learning and I have a real passion for this kind of work! In a very round-about way, I found myself speaking with a certain gentleman regarding a particular program. I was telling him my mini-life story and explained the crossroads I find myself at now. I let him know how big of a passion I have for children and I found myself going on and on about my love for the topic. I began to realize that I've lost track of what I want in life. I got so busy with what other people needed/wanted, what others thought...and, well, just cared too much about everyone else - I forgot to consider what I wanted.

Now I find myself trying to figure out how I can grab and hold on to what I know I will enjoy the rest of my life without shaking my life up too much. And...there I go again, caring a little too much about others and forgetting to consider myself!

I'm still in the process of figuring out loose ends and such but this is something that I feel really strongly about and I'm praying that God will lead me right into the correct decision and the doors that need to be open will fly open and the ones that need closing will SLAM! I need obvious answers here and I envy your prayers!

Today also begins my journey of "A Picture a Day" (no, this is not the big project I've been raving about - that's coming Friday, as promised). I plan to end each blog post with a picture from my day. One that will capture a big chunk of what I accomplished for that day in time, and something I hope that I can come back and look to for memories!

New desktop pictures!

My picture wall with some inspiration!

This canvas hangs in my office and I find it so inspiring! It went real well with my theme today and I enjoy the many colors! My pictures (picAday) are too remember that I half-way decorated my office today...more decor to come another day! 

Until next time...ta ta for now!
