Fulfilling Dreams

My morning walk is when I do most of my thinking, planning, and even praying.  We have great walking trails behind our house and in the morning it so peaceful.  With John turning 30 recently, I find myself thinking about us on my walks.  I've been kind of nostalgic about where we've been and dream about where we are headed.  As I stop and think about where we are right now, in this very moment, I realized that I've fulfilled so many of my childhood dreams already.  The other day it just hit me like a ton of bricks.  Here I am walking in this fantastic neighborhood, where John and I built our first house together.  I am pushing a stroller with two healthy beautiful children and watching my silly black lab run through the fields.  I have a husband who loves me and works hard so that I have the option of staying home and watching my babies grow.  We have loving family surrounding us who are unbelievably supportive and many good friends who we are so thankful to share life with.  Sometimes I wonder how I am so lucky that I get to walk this path in life.  One that so many people dream about.  One that I used to dream about as a little girl and now I am living it.  For that I am beyond thankful.  I can wholeheartedly say that my cup runneth over.
