First and foremost, Happy Birthday to my son! He is now 11 years old.
Now for the thought of the day...
As I was sitting here getting ready for my day, I heard my son say:
"When I teach Chemistry, it is going to be so AWESOME!"
My kids were talking about what they want to be when they grow up. Do you remember those types of talks? Can you remember some of the things you wanted to be? I remember wanting to be a firefighter when I was in kindergarten. As I got older, I changed to teacher. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. I love animals. In fact, I kept that dream until I went to check out colleges. I decided I could never put an animal to sleep. So my mom gave me another choice. I could go on from here but I think you get the point. My dream kept changing. Sometimes it would change many times a day. Even now I am back in school because I want to do something else.
So Krystine, get to the point?!?!
My point is this: We need to continue to dream. To hope. To change our minds about our future. In all the problems I have faced, it never occurred to me to give up and just do nothing. Yet, I see people all around me do what their parents said they should be doing in life, or maybe it was their husband. But there is no sparkle in their eye, no interest. Even worse, they just see themselves as being in the same job, the same place, for the rest of their lives.
Think about that today. What are your dreams? And if you don't have any, come up with some. You can even make yourself a bucket list if you are into having it written down. But make sure you are looking at the future as something positive. Give yourself something to get up in the morning.
I should say, give yourself something to get up for other than that all important cup. :)
