Most of our young lives we have a picture of perfection in our minds for our future. I'll be 27 in a mere 20 days. This has caused much unwanted reflection and pondering on my part. I have been doing some soul searching, whatever that means. What am I doing to meet my goals and what exactly are these goals.
I just wanted to see how many of you are living the life you thought you would. When you were younger did you imagine things very different?
Naturally when you are young you imagine growing up and having the perfect life. This would be for most the best job, family, house, a great car, you're social, you love your neighbors, etc but does this really ever happen for anyone? I don't think it's a bad thing that it doesn't happen it's just, I don't know how to explain it. Different. Anyways, I was just thinking about this. I've accomplished a lot in life, I have a Masters degree, I have a decent job, I have great friends, I have my health, and blah blah blah. So I'm not complaining, just contemplating.
Who doesn't want the whole white picket fence. (Of course the white picket fence has become an icon. The picket fence has become a symbol of property ownership and an embodiment of a key component of the so-called American dream. When people discuss the picket fence today, they are usually doing so metaphorically as am I in this instance!)

Remember when we use to always play MASH. Those were the days. For me, life for sure didn't turn out like I expected it too but I know that I am experiencing the things I neee dot experience. I think the difference came for me when I resolved to always see God's hand in my life, whether good or bad things happen to me. I think you have accomplished a great amount in a mere 27 years and you should not be anything less than satisified with your accomplishments. I love you tons.
