What was the vision of how your life would be?

When I was a child, I envisioned that I would live in a Beverly Hills type mansion complete with fancy cars and clothes.  I would attend the most fabulous parties and be a SUPER successful executive.  My vision did not really include family - only material things.

Fortunately, the vision I had is not the life I live.  We are a middle class family of four, living in a modest home, driving nearly-dead cars.  The house is cluttered with small shoes, toys and crumbs.  There are tears mingled with the laughter.  There are lots of hugs and kisses.

My life is so much better than I ever dreamed!
