i think... your thoughts create your world
i know... i am loved
i want... my family to be happy
i have... everything i've always wanted
i dislike... feeling misunderstood
i miss... my entire family (all 6 of us) being together
i fear... i'll never get where I want to be
i feel... grateful
i hear.... the wind rustling through the leaves
i smell... freshly baked mint brownies
i crave.... deep meaningful friendships
i cry... when I see/hear/read someone's inspiring story of strength and courage
i usually... forget at least one thing when i leave the house
i enjoy... taking a shower at night and getting cozy in bed after a long day
i search... for balance in my life
i wonder.... what more i can do
i regret... the time i've wasted on things i have no control over
i love... the marriage Adam and i have created
i worry... what the future will hold for my children
i am not... as selfless as i want to be
i remember... what matters
i believe... in Jesus Christ
i dance... all the time
i don't... write as well as i'd like to
i write... so my children will know who i am
i win... as much as i lose
i lose... my chapstick within a day of buying a new one
i am trying... to always stay positive
i never... want to eat strange foods like Andrew Zimmerman
i wish... i didn't have to teach my children about protecting themselves against bad people
i listen... to books on my ipod when i clean
i don't understand... why my house can't stay clean for more than 12 hours
i can usually be found... in the car going from school to preschool and back again
i am scared... for the outcome of this election
i need to lose... my fear
i forget... to water our plants
i am happy... i am me
a special happy birthday to my sister Jeni. Love you.

I loved your list. You are such an awesome person. I really enjoy how you document your feelings and that you aren't afraid to share them.
I appreciated your:
I crave....deep meaningful friendships.
Those are so hard to come by. We moved almost 2 years ago now and I have yet to find a friend that I connect with on a level that goes beyond words. I have friends but not the type where I am able to be "me" and come away feeling fulfilled and whole again. Most of the time I deal with it just fine, but there are times it would be nice to have that connection with someone. Maybe it's just not my season right now. Maybe lessons need to be learned that otherwise could not be if a relationship like that existed. Just voicing the emptiness here makes the tears flow - I'll attribute it to lack of sleep and PMS.
Sorry for the book. You are always an inspiration to me.
Meg I understand you more than you would know. A true friendship is something I've always struggled with. It's definitely a lonely lonely place to be when you're without a friend to share "you" with. I think you said it perfectly...it's empty. Thank you for commenting and reminding me that perhaps there are always answers. I like when you said, "maybe lessons need to be learned that otherwise could not be if a relationship like that existed". I will always remember that. thank you.
I loved this list. What a great way to tell all about yourself without a lot of filler words. I can just see your girls reading this post in years to come and learning all about who their mother was in 2008 and noticing what has changed and what has remained the same. I love that you blog for yourself and your future generations. I need to do more of that.
