What is your personal dream? What would happen if your dream came true?
______________________________________________________________________
For right now my biggest dream is not associated with my career. For right now, my personal dream is associated with family. I had always thought that I would be one of those women that could take 'em or leave 'em when it came to children. And for a long time I was! I didn't have any strong feelings of being a mother. Within the last year, some time when I wasn't paying attention, that all changed. Now I'm actually looking forward to the new adventure. Along those lines, I'm dreaming of having a large family... 3 or 4 kids! What?! The idea what I have gone from "I'm not sure I'll ever want kids" to "Oh yeah, let's go and have lots!" really still shocks me. But, when I think about it, I'm not surprised at this desire.
My husband and I are both only children. That means our kids won't have any aunt or uncles. No first cousins. Weird. And a bit sad. I'm quite close with my cousins now, but I don't think it's quite the same kind of relationship as I would have with a sibling. There's no one that I would call at any hour of the day for any reason, major or minor. It's just different... not necessarily bad, just different. Regardless, now I watch "Parenthood" and I see those 4 adults siblings getting together for family dinners with all their kids and oh, how I want that. The chaos of all the kids, the laughter, the rivalries, the large meals, the traditions. It just looks like so much fun!
If my dream came true... holy crap would my whole world change. I can't even imagine. We'll see how it all plays out.
I do have other dreams... associated with work and home and such. But this one, this family one, for now it's the big one. My how things change.
