5 Minute Friday... Imagine

Five Minute Friday The subject for today's 5 minute Friday post is imagine. Here are my 5 minutes.

START

I would have never imagined I would be where I am today. If someone would have told my 21 year old self that I'd be a semi-crunchy mom of two little boys these days I would have laughed at them. I had my life planned, har har. I was going to write or sing or still be waiting tables, perhaps managing. But absolutely NOT a mommy.

I could have never imagined that that the things that would be fulfilling to me are baking bread with the boys or tending our container garden. I couldn't even imagine owning (well, paying on) a home. I could have never imagined meeting a man as wonderful as the one I met and married.

I imagined I would be some sort of dark Dorothy Parker writer.. Or I would have finished college and saved the world.. Or maybe I would have had some dogs.

I am so glad that my life is better than I imagined. More than I ever could have imagined. A more perfect version of anything I could have ever imagined.

I can't even imagine what the future holds. My life has become much smaller in some ways, much larger in others. I love it.

STOP

  1. My life is so much different than I ever dreamed of too. I have said it before and I'll say it again, God's plans are so much better than ours. Thankful He gives us what is best for us, not what we think we need. :)

  3. My life is about the exact opposite of what I imagined, as well. Oddly, your life sounds more like what I imagined mine would look like!

    You're blessed to have found that all these things you didn't imagine would be part of your life have been so fulfilling and so much better than what you would have imagined they'd be for you. (I know what I'm trying to say, I'm not sure it's coming out right! Ha!)

    This is such a lovely way of putting it! "I am so glad that my life is better than I imagined. More than I ever could have imagined. A more perfect version of anything I could have ever imagined."
