While I Wait…
What are you doing while you are creating the life you want?
I’d like to think that I am working toward creating the life I want. But in the end, the life I want is nothing like practical.
The life I crave each day is one that is so far from where I am right now that I see no clear road ahead. I’ll show you why.
Where I am right now:
I am living with my boyfriend, a good, sweet man. My daughter is here with me as well. I’ve got another kiddo in college, one on an adventure, and one more, married, and in the US Army. I had to leave my farm and move into town last year due to the fact that I cannot make enough money right now to stay there. I also don’t “fix” things. So being on a farm alone, without my father’s help, is too much. (He “retired” from helping me when the divorce was final.)
I work hard, though. I can clean a barn, prune an orchard, and garden a half acre pretty easily. I can keep a tidy home. I can bake pretty much anyone’s socks off. I’ve got some mean skills, homemaker-wise. But making money…not so awesome at that, yet.
I’m in school full-time, taking every chance I can to meet people and make connections. I’ve got 1.5 years left of this insanity and then…then I’ve got to have this thing figured out. I’m running my music…
