wanted.

i want....

i want a home with lots of windows one day. lovebird knows i crave light more than ever. the first thing i do when i wake up in the morning, is open all the shutters. light is beautiful, fresh and awakening.

i want to grow old with lovebird, and thank goodness i get an eternity with him.

i always want to be a busy woman. sure, a stay at home mother is ideal- but, i want to be a busy stay at home mom. a woman who has work to get done, places to go, people to see and things to do; someone who is always on the go- feeling accomplished, successful and just plain... busy. i often complain of the overly busy schedule i have now- but, as much as i hate it in the moment, i love it in the long run.

i want all things covered and dipped in chocolate. {if only that was healthy}. life seems to function better when you have a taste of chocolate here and there.

i want my home to always be cluttered; a good kind of cluttered. you know, life's trinkets, collectables, memories, and gadgets. my walls will be covered in mismatched art, the shelves will house all sorts of books and empty space will be a rare occurrence. Sure, i love the pristine white, empty, neat-and-tidy homes- but, it's not me; not my style. i was raised a duffin, as my family would say.

i want to live closer to family and friends. i miss their laughter, hugs and being around their sweet spirits.

i want lovebird to magically wake up loving animals one day. why? because i want a puppy. also, i grew up with animals, and so will our kids.... i've just got to convince him of it.

i want all things with an indian print, floral print or animal print at the moment. all in rich fall colors, please.

oh, the wants of life...

what are your's?

all these wants and yet i'm

 still beyond grateful for all that i do have. 

life is blissful.
