birthday wishes? new year's resolutions? chrismas lists? the list is endless. and it all says one thing; we can not live without dreams. i mean, if we dont have a goal to work towards, whats life about then?
this summe,r i caught myself wondering, a number of times, whats my ultimate goal? that one thing that i live for. an innermost part of me was telling me that the answer should be "heaven". well, i do believe in heaven, and it most definitely is where i wanna be eventually. but lets face it, thats not the billboard set high above, that i run towards with a smile on my face. it's a whole different deal then.
i figure i got a wishlist too, like everyone. and it could be similar to a whole lot others out there, but it still is mine. and it's why i wake up early in the morning, although i'd kill to be able to sleep in, and why we bother to do education, relationships, check ups, and chocolate cakes. got you thinking, jo?
well, here's what i think of when i lie down on a matress up on the roof and watch the millions of stars. and the occasional shooting star. and yes, i do make a wish or so.
i wish...(hope this doesnt jinx it!) that i could spent my day working in a huge, modern hospital, that has these posh, stainless steel coffee stands. and i wanna be able to observe tough surgery, and treat hard cases. then, i'd leave to my house where i could eat a nice dinner with my husband, who happens to be great-mind you!- and cares for me tons. and then lie on the couch watching a light romance movie to sleep.
every year i'd like to be able to score a couple of weeks vacation somewhere extremely new, and do bunjy jumbing, sky diving, mountain climbing, camping in the woods. safaris through the desert...basically travel around the world. vegas, malaysia, italy, brazil, france, austria and swizerland. and another couple of weeks with my family. my extended family. i know hardly anyone likes that; arguments that last a lifetime over absolutely nothing meaningful, bigtime expectations by older folks who always think the next generation is too screwed up, and kids screaming and running around breaking alot of stuff. but lets face it, family gossip is basically... well, kinda cosy. (Ahem... it's real late and i could posibly be losing it, i'm not sure :)) the bigger the croud, the more people in your life that affect your life and love you in some way, and that is definitely warm.
and of course, one day, i'd like to have kids, and start a new generation that will probably be even more screwed up, but hopefully, happy.
well, thats a life plan, ha? of course, there are tons of other wishes, like my own business, weekends at a glamourous spa, girlfriends that support and love me, first class travel, a week in a cottage in countryside england, and tons others.
i realise that while the list is endless, it expresses who i am,what my values are, and what my priorities are. (NB they were not in a particular order back up there, but i know what comes first) i mean, that why from a young age, our parents teach us about wishes, and goals and dreams. and the more dreams i have, the more reasons i have to live.
PS. if you dont have a wishlist figured out already, try it out, you'll be surprised how much you wanna do. goodnight and sweet dreams everyone :-)
