This past week I was talking with a client about life, and she mentioned that she had a plan… for example how many kids she wanted, where she wanted to live, when she wanted to retire and where etc… she kept referring to it… her plan… it really struck me.
Do I have a plan? where do I want to be in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years? What do I want out of life, what would I be unhappy if I didnt accomplish… you get the point, it really got me thinking… I am thinking about getting a journal, not this public blog, but a real paper journal to help me put pen to paper and think through what i want out of “this” life…I know that i want to be a good person, a good mother and leave the world better. I want to be kind, and loving and I want to be someone who is more happy than not… other than that I dont really know…
There are things that I know I dont want, but when i thought about it briefly it really made me think…
Do you have a plan? Do you know what you really want out of life?

Here is a cute picture of my Alyssa in the snow… oh, how i torture my children!
