A mess to be made, and the some days

One of my favorite movies is "Til There Was You".  Not a big movie, but it does have some great actors who portray this story of boy meets girl and everything in between.  You watch the characters grow from children into adults as the story reveals who they are, what they are.

In the movie, the two female characters play a game as kids called "Someday".  A silly game girls everywhere play, regardless of when or where you grow up.  It is a game where you talk about what you would like for the future, what you want out of life, what your expectations are, and what you think you will have...someday.

A mess to be made, for sure, when you live off someday rather than today.  You seem to forget what your task at hand may be.  You lose focus on what priorities you should have, focusing in the daydreams rather than reality.  But, it is nice to play this little game every once in a while.  A way of capturing who you genuinely are, and what you genuinely want.  A way of remembering how to dream, how to not forget those dreams...

Someday I will be able to trust again.

Someday I will be able to have financial security based upon my hard work, my diligence in saving, and my desire to have a wonderful retirement.

Someday I will travel to Boston to see Fenway Park.

Someday I will travel to Italy, see the villages I have read about, watched documentaries about.

Someday I will publish something for the world to read.

Someday I will have a closet large enough to fit all my clothes without it being a struggle.

Someday I will see my children graduate from high school, from college, and see them start lives and families of their own.

Someday I will call those I struggle with, listen to why they may struggle with me, and tell them thank you for all the moments they have provided me with to become the person I am today.

Someday I will have hair at the length I want.

Someday I will be at peace with the past, find peace with the pain I feel now, and be able to remember only fond memories instead of all the memories that only cause tears.

Someday, I will get married again, and to a man who will love me unconditionally.  Someone who makes me smile just at the sound of his name, someone who I would move mountains for just to protect our relationship.

Someday I will be able to sit on a porch, family surrounding me, and look back on a wonderful life I was able to have, filled with blessings.
