Want

I want to be a better athlete. I want to run and bike and swim and I want to somewhat enjoy it while doing it.

I want to learn to cook. I want to look in cupboards and know how to throw things together to make mouth watering food. I want to invite people over and have them taste delicious food that was prepared by me-not my mom or sister or friend or girlfriend or brother Curtis...I want them to taste food that was prepared by ME.

I want to be more crafty-like my friend Candice. Or my sister, Jami. Or my aunt Mindy. Or anyone who is crafty. I want to be able to see something in my mind and in some form, create it.

I want to be a mom. I want to teach my kids that everything is beautiful. I want to take them on the roof in the middle of the night to star gaze. I want to have Christmas with my kids and take them to go see Santa Clause. I want to teach them to be nice and how to share and most importantly, that they are awesome simply because they're kids.

I want to change the world. When I was in 8th grade I told Mr Ruesch that I wanted to be in a history book someday-so little girls could read it and think, 'I want to be like her.' I asked him how I could do it-how I can get inside of a history book for doing good things-like Mother Teresa. He told me that I just needed to be my best self all the time, no matter what, and no matter who I was with.

I want to take a nap.

I feel a surge for change in my own life. In my mind I could do it all, but I am sick this week so will have to wait.
