Description of an Ideal Life

So I've been going through this folder today that I have quotes and uplifting ideas and thoughts in. I came across a piece of paper that has scribble on it. I probably was watching a show and got these ideas...not sure. Anyhoo, it's called description of an Ideal Life:

*Be clear about what you want
*Live in the present
*Visualize with emotion what you want
(use great posture while doing so)
*Listen to uplifting music
*Dance around
*Take action
*become a manifesting magnet
*Write 5 things daily you're grateful for

So I'll go ahead and try to do these things. I do find that I know what I want but then make an excuse to why it cannot be done. Examples are: Adoption...the excuse is that it costs a lot of money and we just move around to much to see the process through. Finish my degree...the excuse is that we just move around to much for me to finish...see a trend=) Lose weight..the excuse is I'm just happy with who I am. I am working on the weight loss by joining the club and watching what I eat and choosing water over other drinks. The other two are things I need to work on because my life is at such a stand still. I definitely visualize with emotion what I want. I want more than anything to be a stay at home mom and wow does that bring on the tears! I want to get a job that to me has meaning and am finding it hard without a finished degree...the water fountain of tears starts again. With Grant's job and our main source of income I find it hard to go after what I want.
Listening to uplifting music is easy for me along with the dancing! I put on this sorta fairytale with you by Tori Amos or If you want to sing out sing out by Cat Stevens and I'm a dancing machine!
Take Action..YIKES, I'm not good at this...lets move on...........
Become a manifesting magnet...what in the world is this..let me google it...(5 minutes later) I didn't get much out of what this is...anyone care to explain. Moving on to Writing 5 things a day your grateful for. I used to do this and of course like most things I start..I don't finish. I will start today with this entry.

1.Grant! He is such a blessing in my life.
2.Lucy and Lola..they make me smile and make me feel loved when I'm home alone and feel so alone
3.Nieces and Nephews I would do anything for them. I want them to be so much more than I believe they think they can. The feeling I get from them is a feeling of accomplishment that I CAN make a difference in the life of a child and I do deserve to be a mother. I'm not always there whenever they need me but I do believe that every one of them does know I'd do whatever I could to the best of my ability to help them.
4.God! He is actually number one and is on my list everyday. Without my faith in God life would be empty and meaningless. I wouldn't have Grant, family, puppies etc without God making it all happen. Everyday he reminds me he is on my side and looking out for me!
5.computer...yes it's materialistic but I'm so thankful that I'm able to afford to have one to stay in touch through all the moves and hustle and bustle of daily life.

So as I continue to go through this folder and continue to find ways to uplift my spirit and go through life with optimism I will continue to share. Lord only knows we can all use a little help in our daily lives to stay optimistic and move forward with intention!
