Careful what you wish for
About a month ago I found an email sitting in my inbox - a time capsule I'd written to myself five years prior. In it, I had listed goals I wanted to accomplish and hopes I had for the future. One of the goals/hopes I had was home ownership. Five years later, we do own a home...but only because hubby's mother passed away and we inherited it. When I wrote this particular goal down, I don't think I had inheritance in mind as the means to the end.
On a lighter note, I always wanted curly hair when I was little. Enter: puberty. My hair took on a mind of its own when I turned 14 and after years of fighting with it, finally embraced my new texture a couple of years ago. Every once in awhile, when I'm having a particularly bad hair day, I think back with envy to when I could wash it, let it dry, and not look like I'd stuck my finger in a lightsocket.
Have you ever had goals/hopes/desires that you attained, but were surprised by the results? Does the grass look a little greener where you you used to be standing?
