What do you want in life?
I was gonna write about something totally different, but had to look it up in a notebook I keep in my purse first...and got sidetracked reading some of the other stuff I wrote in there. So instead of my original idea, I'm going to share something I wrote during one of my lunch breaks at work back in January 2007. My desire is the same as back then, but unfortunately I don't think I've made much progress towards it. Anyway, here it is:
"What do you want in life?" I want the world to be my home. I want to know different countries, live in them, have friends with different cultural backgrounds, and not limit my residence to Canada. I want to spend my life learning about life, people...developing friendships.
I want to learn how to wisely invest my money...to be free of financial worry...what the heck! I just want to be free of worry! To be able to take my life one day at a time and enjoy it and fully experience it. I want a life of intensity: joy, happiness, pain, sorrow, anger, forgiveness. But I want to be able to control them because it's not good to be run by your emotions.
I want to share this journey with someone. I want to get married and share his journey. I want to have kids and show them the world.
I want to be sensitive to God's leading. Sensitive to the spiritual realm. I want to understand what's going on around me.
I want to have time--to relax, think, listen to people, watch the world...
I want to write about life. People. Ideas. Beliefs. Food. Travel. Lessons.
I want to major in life. Learn to observe. Take time for little things like flowers opening.
I want to take risks, have adventures, and live dangerously though not stupidly.
I want a nice villa in Spain!

The Villa still sounds great. We'll come visit. You can visit us in Ecuador, or wherever we end up.
