I cannot predict what every day will bring my way.
There's always something new and exciting hiding behind a corner.
I'm always DREAMING.
I'm never CONTENT.
Hubs has been working hard, trying to keep up with my dreams. He's been working on stage 1 of landscaping around the basketball court.
AND...if that isn't enough, he didn't question my DREAM when I asked him to make a natural looking feeding trough for the outside critters. He took out his chainsaw and started cutting.
I LOVE the new feeding trough. I cannot wait until our raccoon friends get inside to eat. I just giggle thinking of how they will look like they are paddling a canoe!
Sometimes my dreams just don't pan out. I had a vision to use some old horseshoes from Jon's aunt's home across the road. She found dozens and dozens and dozens of horseshoes in her yard and around her home.
I lacquered a dozen.
Perhaps a collage?
No go.
Just didn't work.
I will set them aside knowing that another DREAM will come along.
Oh how I wish I could give them the world.
I want to be more like them.
They ARE content.
Their dreams are simple and pure.
How I will miss Indy 500 racing around the house at 8am. The hysterical giggles from the shaggy hair driver.
you know i have a lisa leonard necklace that says "content"! that was my word for the year a couple of years ago...it was my goal to just be content with everything! it's hard said than done. i started a blessings journal, to write down at least 5 things i'm blessed/thankful for each day. it helps to keep me focused. oooh and love your little feeding trough ;)
ReplyDeleteYour feeding trough is so cool. I want to live where you do. It's beautiful!!!! Yeah, I'm never content either!!!
ReplyDeletecan't believe school is about to start? where did the summer go? I will miss it so! I am with you on the staying content--it is tough~
