do something amazing

Sometimes I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Every day is the same. I don’t know what it would take to zap me out of this routine. Some of my dreams are not forgotten, just on hold until my kids get older. I have just about everything I want. I wonder how Cinderella felt after all of her dreams finally came true. What’s left? Start a new check list, I guess. Some of the things I want to do are nonsensical, silly even. But you know what? Laughter is oftentimes the best answer to the daily doldrums we all find ourselves in from time to time. You know what I’d really like? A fairy godmother! Then I could have it all.

I have always felt that I have it within myself to do something amazing. At the age of 29, I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I do not know what that `something amazing’ might be. However, I am sure that I am capable of it. I have done some amazing things in my life. Having kids is amazing. Being able to stay married in this day and age is pretty amazing. Staying employed at one job for any length of time is amazing. Stability, strength, generosity, friendship, and love are all amazing qualities. This journey of life we are all undertaking is pretty amazing. Maybe the answer to the big question is not to try to `be’ or `do’ anything amazing. Just enjoy every day of your existence and fill it with as much wonder, beauty, and joy as you can.
