Yes, first answer is not planning to "grow up". :-)))
My childhood goals which were music, art and travel have fairly well been realized. Later I just defined my goal as being happy--this being a deep sense of well-being rather than a surface gaiety. That is being realized also.
My final goal is to enter into God's Holy Place while awaiting the resurrection.
I think I wish to get some great pencils and sell them on the streetside :) Truthfully I don't think I will ever grow up but if I do I would love to travel the world - the entire world at least one time. Mind you that would not be growing up it would be retirement :).
.... I want to be nothing more than what I am now ..... I would love to have the world grow up though and attain its wisdom of peace and tranquility ....
Thousands of Iraquian and Afghan children certainly would like to answer this question. Poor... the bombardiers of the USA played the bombs that killed them. The survivors already know what will be: mutilated, orphans and severely traumatized.
Wow! I have to think about this, and come back to the question! :) However, I will say now, that it's so important to live every day to it's fullest, and to seize every moment. Enjoy the simple pleasures in life, as they are truly the best! I am so grateful to God for all that He has blessed me with.
I think the end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us. Every single day, I seem to find something new, and wonderful that astonishes me! :)
It's a question that I was thinking about last night and when I was up this morning I thought I would place it out there and there are things that truly are something that is to be amazed with and when we were kids we never assumed things - we just did them and with that said I know for myself there are times that I literally am amazed as well - hence we still are children in a way. Hence we I don't think we end the learning curve at a certain age we gain while we "grow ahead".
Well, I use to want to be a horse, or a lion or something like that. When I got older I work with the animals, starting with Sea-World and Animal Kingdom, while still in school. From there it just got better and better. My work increased with them and I came into my contact with different varieties and many new adventures. And as I grow, I kept that as my goal to make each year-a better year of growth in some way.
Lynne4 mentioned on a blog of mine her---" a minimalistic soul ... I keep absolutely nothing unless it has a direct purpose." And this year I am taking more of a look at that. I'm not a hoarder but I have stuff. To much stuff. Takes time to take care of stuff. Because I like order too. So been working on that this more this year. I think I want to just keep and give my time more to my faith, to people I enjoy , travel, my animal friends, my garden and my books. And less on things. ( some things I will keeps the things I truly love) I think that is my goal as I am growing now. Oh and doing a monthly cook off with friends we are all growing up to be the great chefs of the world
Lynne has always mentioned great things and before I get off here I will say that it's good to minimize and enjoy things. My goal is that I bring about and have the best within things and as it's an easy day. It's rather nice to just write and post. As well when the time is within place to post to others. Haddie you hit on a line here which really is within regards to purpose. And within purpose, I just came back to this and am enjoying things as each and everyone is within there own way.
Hmmm...I have no idea. I dont know if I can ever grow up. I dont think I would have "Grown up" even when I die. I have small things I want to do, like, being better than I was yesterday, learning something new, seeing different places, being able to accept what I am in the moment without needing to question/judge my every action or thought, being the best I can be within the circumstances and people I find myself to be, lessening or not having any expectations of others in my life.
I used to want to be a Nurse, Teacher, Artist, Flautist, Sprinter, Cook, Historian, and Horticulturist...and to a degree I have achieved it, in being a Housewife.
Now this is a different slant Rashmi, one can only do the best at what they are given regardless of what they are and what they do. As I think it all comes down to self expectations - just perhaps. :)
i want to answer this with a laugh*
ReplyDelete... i refuse to grow up, for if i do that ... i will delete you as a friend. tight hugs Jack ;)

ReplyDeleteTruthfully I don't think I will ever grow up but if I do I would love to travel the world - the entire world at least one time. Mind you that would not be growing up it would be retirement :).
I would love to travel the world myself...that would be such a treat!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we ever entirely grow up, yet we grow ahead...
ReplyDelete.... I want to be nothing more than what I am now ..... I would love to have the world grow up though and attain its wisdom of peace and tranquility ....
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice Lisa!
ReplyDelete~neat~ to say the least Lynne.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful, I dont' think everyone is at that place you are in :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more of the world outside the lens of the American us vs. them mentality.
ReplyDeleteA good morning there Doug - outside the lens certainly would be something. And your write was nice as well...

ReplyDeleteNot sure Jack..so much I want to do I only hope that God sees fit to give me a long life so I do it...
ReplyDeleteI want to keep growing until the day God takes me home . I never want to stop learning and I never want to lose the wonder of life
ReplyDeleteJust wanna be me, and hopefully never grow up :)

Now this is thought provoking to say the least! Thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteJules it's something of worth...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so true how we do, within that learning process and I as well never wish to stop learning and being amazed within the wonders of life.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we just grow ~ahead~ :)

ReplyDeleteyes- I should have said- "never grow up completely" :)

Peace to you there dear.
I came back as I understand truly what you mean with your comment there Doug. I thought it was worth the mention. Very much so...
