I Can't Wait!

When I was young I couldn't wait to be old enough to have my bedtime at 9:30 p.m. instead of 8:30 p.m.

I couldn't wait to go to Jr. High.

Getting my driver's license was an eternity away.

Oh, how I just wanted to graduate from high school.

If I only owned a car.

Would I ever get to visit Europe?

Graduating from college.....will it ever happen?

A job! That's what I need.

If only I made more money.

All of these highly anticipated events came and went, but not one changed who I am. Some brought short-term happiness, but none transformed my life into a state of bliss.

On the other hand, today I got to hold Craig's hand while I drove him to school. Right now Max is curled up on my lap. Sunday we ate cake with Alasdair and Josh. Saturday I drank chocolate milk while watching the Peach Days parade. Last week I got to sing with the Salt Lake Choral Artists.

Now those things.....bliss.
