dreams and lack thereof


i always feel dumb not knowing what to write for a new post. i think people must get bored if i just write about daily happenings, but then if i were to share all the deep churning thoughts that swarm thru my head i'd come across as unstable. like who of y'all really care that i jump in the pool at least once (sometimes up to three times) a day to prevent heat exhaustion? or does it fascinate anyone that i got a white-trash pedicure with palm tree doodles painted on my toes? and then i feel too light-hearted and young to freely share with the internet world that i'm frightened by the fact that i have no clue where my life is going or where i'll be this time next year. how is it that i don't know what i want? i've always been so focused and driven, accomplishing the goals i've had thus far. but now that i've done so much of what i've wanted to do....what do i want to do now? i want to want something - not just settling for what's available or something "better" if i were faced with two options. not just going back to school because i don't know what else to do. i have lots of life long dreams. but say i finally do have the $ to go for a hot air balloon ride or sail around the world for a year - then what? where do you get life long dreams if you haven't dreamed anything yet?

I know the feeling. Then I'm reminded that my focus and drive should be on being more in the center of God's will and the rest will follow. Psalm 131 is something I've needed to pound into my brain because I'm a dreamer by nature too. Here's a link for us lazies: http://biblegateway.org/passage/?search=psalm%20131&version=49

I for one am interested in the little things that make up your daily life, such as painting palm trees on your toes & jumping in the pool 3 x's a day... but maybe that's just cuz i miss you! But i guess most everyone who reads this blog does.
