Wishes...

A friend of mine received the following writing prompt as a suggestion"


What do you wish were-
1. different 
2. better
3. more
about person, place, thing, event. Include self.


1. What do I wish were different?  I wish my children had an intact, healthy, spiritually united family. Instead they have a broken, dysfunctional, and spiritually divided family. 


On a lighter note, I wish I had the metabolism I had 20 years ago! 


2. I wish my relationship between myself and my ex were better. That we worked together regarding our kids. However, if that were the case, I would probably still be married.


3. I wish I had MORE sleep!!!! Like every other mom. 


But, as the saying goes, "If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride."

So, today I have to be accepting of my present circumstances and then take action where needed.

1. I am working on being a better mother -- more healthy, spiritually focused. When they are with me, I focus on THEM, not a boyfriend. Someday, I'd like a man in our lives. But today, I am waiting for my annulment to be granted.

2. I am trying to resolve some disputes between myself and my ex-husband.

3. I am trying to take better care of myself.
