I tend to get a little bit of wanderlust in February and March. The cold wind and gray days get to me I guess. I've got it BAD right now. I'm this close to selling just about everything we own and moving to some tropical island. Doesn't that sound wonderful?
It seems wonderful because I feel like if I did it, the hard things about my life would just go away. Being on a beach all day I can handle. The real life stuff, I'm not so good at handling sometimes.
I eventually talked myself out of putting all of my furniture on Craigslist this morning with things like...
Ivy is starting kindergarten in the fall, and I would miss my family and friends, and there is a little baby here that needs me. The time is coming soon for our family to get bigger and if I was on a tropical island I would miss it.
And then I made a full recovery and realize that it's going to be ok. That sometimes, yeah life is hard but what I need is more faith, not white sandy beaches.
So, I'll keep my stuff.
I'll work on having more faith.
I don't want to miss my adventure because I was too busy hoping for a different one.

You have no idea how much I needed this reminder today too...thanks Jenn. Your words are beautful.
ReplyDeleteI say, go! Go adventure! As much as you can. Before Kinder sticks you here. Happy Wandering! Love, Lindsay
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile. And I would miss you way too much if a tropical island got you, although I would definitely come visit! And I really can't wait to watch your family grow. Every Sunday in class Ivy tells me that she can't wait to grow up and be a mom and I know that's because she's learning from the very best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for inspiring me today friend. And thanks for hanging with my Austin! I hope he was good for you!
Your last line was amazing! I love that!! Will you please fill me in on what is going on? I live too far away.
