Being the 'me' I aspire to be...

I'm sure that many people today have probably envisioned in their heads the person they've always aspired to be. I know for me, I'm never fully satisfied with my current 'state-of-me.' Although I feel like I'm a pretty good 'me'; I'm certain that the very best 'me' is still yet to be revealed. Each blessed day I awake, I look forward to learning something new, and I make every effort to instill the same values in my children. It's my hope that I will say something that will provide a helpful example, a lasting impression, or a word that will help them to see that life should be enjoyed to the fullest. A whole world at their fingertips.

When they were small, I'd encourage them to be loving to others, to be not just hearers--but doers, as well as givers. I'd tell them that everyone deserves a measure of respect, and that kindness should come as naturally as second-nature. Hopefully, supplying them with all the tools they need to be good, wholesome, and decent individuals. As I aspire to be a better me, I pray that my children will also recognize that striving to be better is a life-long process that will never be easily conquered in this life. It takes discipline, self-denial, the ability to focus, with determination and God.

Being the woman I aspire to be is a work in progress...

see you on the other side...

My future 'me.'
