The More I Know, the More I Grow

You know, it's amazing to me as I've walked my own path to get to where I am today that I have come to realize that without learning about myself, truly knowing myself, I will not grow into the very best person I can be. It is amazing to me how many people, including myself, rush through this life as if in a hurry to get to the "other side".

I think my ultimate goal would be to do good things, good deeds for others. I'd like to have a non-working farm to give a home to homeless animals, big and small. I'd like to watch the sunset every night from the front porch of my home gently moving back and forth in a huge rocker or even a double rocker with my honey. I'd love to have a porch swing where I could do the same, wrapped up in a blanket drinking hot chocolate, my legs curled up underneath me and leaning my head on his shoulder, my hot-chocolate-cup-free arm linked into his. The stars would look like God sprinkled the sky with glitter, and the only noise we would hear would be that of nature.

Sometimes, it is in those types of moments, even by myself, that I learn the most about me, what I want, who I want to be, and how I can become the very best me. It is in the quiet spaces of my mind (and there aren't many of those quiet spaces) where I am able to truly be happy with who I am, be comfortable in my own skin.

I believe that the more I know about myself, the more I grow into who I want to become. I just need to find more of those quiet spaces...

...and a really great piece of property to build my dream home on. =)

Here's wishing to more quiet spaces in your mind, too,
