Someday I am going to have endless patience with my kids, I'll enjoy their company and not feel so short-tempered with them. I am going to be thoughtful and organized. I will remember birthdays for my friends and family (on time). I won't be stinking rich, but I won't work evenings or weekends, either. I am going to be in really super great shape, I am going to love a good run with a yoga class to follow. And I will wear my grey hair proudly. I will spend lots of time out in my garden, getting dirt under my fingernails. My little house will be quaint and tidy, not quite so upside down. It's going to be the kind of place where friends want to stop by for a glass of wine and a good laugh.
It's not going to be today. And it's not looking so good for tomorrow, either. But please, God, let it be soon.
