What do you envision for your family in the future?
That's what I've been asking myself lately, and my husband. It's a hard question but it's good to think about it and plan for it now when you still have control and time to think about it. I have all of these dreams for my family, and visions of what I believe our future will look like. I worry that maybe my husband doesn't share that same vision. I have tried to get it out of him, as to what he wants in the future but I don't think he's put a lot of thought into it so I plan to revisit it, until then here is what I want the future to look like for my family.
I want to be active with my family and hike, bike, play sports and always have something to do after school or even throughout the day so that we're not always thinking of our next meal. I want to EAT TO LIVE NOT LIVE TO EAT. I feel as though currently I live to eat, always thinking about my next meal/snack and always thinking about healthy vs. not health food and succumbing to overeating simply because a food tastes good. I want that to all change. I want to eat a more plant based diet and teach the boys to eat from the sun not from processed foods. I also want my husband and I to be their main example and teach them why we eat that way. I want to have family time, precious, valuable family time, not necessarily around the table but also around family activities such as going to the park together, taking long walks after dinner, and participating in sports together. I want to be around other people who want to raise their children like I want to raise mine, I want to live in a community with supportive people with the same values. I also would like to live in a place with more activities, that is more alive. I want to LIVE LIFE TO THE Fullest and explore and be curious about everything just like my little boys.
My thoughts are often random and that is how I write these days but I want all of these things jumbled into one big whole happy life. So there it is. Husband if you're reading this I hope you want a lot of the same things for yourself and our family ;-)
