Usually I am ok with Monday mornings. It is a bit difficult to get out of bed earlier than I did on the delightful Sunday I got to have the prior day but all in all, it's not bad. Typically the kicker is when I get to work, sit down and start to think of all the things I'd rather be doing not only with my time but my life... A couple of weeks ago I made a "Wants list". A few of my wants at the time included:
- get a job that makes a difference doing something I enjoy (the typical job frustration)
- have a house with a big front porch (must have been doing some cleaning/consolidating earlier)
- travel to __________ (long list...)
I think that these are some pretty common wants for people but why do you never hear about them happening? You know, the dream coming true bit... For me, I want these things. I want to wake up in the morning and be excited to go to work! I want to walk in to my job and wonder "What do I get (key word "get") to do today?".
A few years ago now some friends of mine lost their daughter to cancer. That changed my life forever. I think about her and all the other kids in the hospital everyday and how their little bodies have betrayed them. "What can I do? I want to help!" I feel so useless sometimes, like I'm not doing anything that will make a difference. I think the struggle I'm having is how do I change? What do I need to do and am I brave enough to do it? To make the change and go out of my comfort zone for change to reach the "bigger picture"?
