I want it all.


I really want to make granola, and bread, and finish painting Scotland’s wall, and landscape my back bed, and tear down a wall in my kitchen, and organize the shelves above the washer and dryer and spend more time with the young women I serve, and sing more, and get my studio going, and can a boat load of tomato sauce and salsa, and hang out with friends more, and keep in better contact with distant friends, and be more present with my boys, and spend more time with Tom, and read more, and study the scriptures more deeply, and paint my toe nails, and figure out my system for structuring my life, and go shopping, and go running, and do yoga, and visit some adopted Grandma’s, and make cement stepping stones, and build a cold frame, and build a fort, and paint our shed, and weed my yard, and go on more walks, improve my photography, get involved with high school musical theater programs, deep clean my kitchen, and spend more time in prayer.
That’s my list tonight. It will be different tomorrow. But no shorter.
