Sometimes I find myself thinking (dreaming) about the future and where that next destination will be. Texas is home for now but will not be home forever. I dream of far away places and where we could possibly go next. If Bobby were to ask honey, how would you like to go to _ _ _, (of course he would never suggest we go to a place that’s unsafe) you better believe I could have my bags packed tomorrow. We plan to stay here till the kids are all graduated from college but after that we dream of far away places. Bobby tells me every now and then about prospect jobs overseas and to be honest it sounds so exciting. He just recently told me about another possibility in a few years of moving to Italy and we’ve talked about Germany and Australia or even going back to Asia. I’m ready to go and see more of the world, live in many cultures and experience life in other places. To me there’s nothing like submerging into another culture, it’s a great experience and at times I tend to get a little stir crazy. Life is a great experience and the more I live the more I realize that our time here on earth is short. I want to be all that I can be, do all that I can do and experience as much as I can possibly experience here on earth. We also talk of moving back to Florida one day. I must say I love the uncertainty of where we will be in the years to come, I love the adventure and then again we may stay right here in good ole Texas till retirement and then move on over to Florida. We may never experience overseas living again but it sure is fun to dream about. So while I’m here in Texas, I plan to enjoy each and every day, each and every season, and each and every experience because our time here will not last forever.
I used to be a lot like that, always wanting to live someplace new. Once the kids arrived, it gives us a sense of comfort to have a place we love to call home where our family is happy.
