When We Get What We Want

We all have dreams of what life will become. We set out to accomplish those dreams which are forever changing as we go along. Some dreams are simple, straightforward, while others are complex, complicated.  Sometimes it seems life just gets in the way of what we want, and that we'll never see our dreams come to fruition, but once in awhile we do. We found our dream house, minus the shop, and it had been a goal to build it since we bought the house, then a goal to put in a floor. 

These things take time, and money, and we have been patient and saved. Once accomplished, it seems like we're always ready to move on to the next dream and the next, as if the one completed didn't really matter, but it was this that made me realize, they're all really one and the same. Whether it be our next remodel project, or Z getting the kitten she couldn't have until the shop was done, it's just our collective dream. 

When it's all said and done, there will be remnants of what we created for awhile, but those too will fade, what won't though was the support we found in each other: the eager hope of it and the utter joy of it. That will be ours while we're here, what makes our dream house, home, imbued with our energy even when, a hundred years from now, left empty. It makes me so grateful for the family we've created and those we came from who gave us the gifts of who we are, so we can pass that on to our little ones because this life, this dream, is worth it.
