Thankful For My Dreams

With Thanksgiving having just passed, I had been thinking what I am thankful for.  Of course, I am thankful for my children, my husband, my extended family and our health.   I began thinking where I am in my life right now, and where I dreamed I would be years ago before I was even married.

When I was growing up, I always dreamed of being married and having children.  I would think of what I would name my children (none of which my children are currently named) and I dreamed of what my life would look like.  I don’t think these dreams are any different than most people’s dreams. 

The other dream I had was to help people.  I enjoyed talking to people and helping them out with their problems when I was younger.  I dreamed of being a therapist, which is when I decided on my major in college as Social Work.  Since my college graduation, then graduate school graduation, I have been a social worker in a variety of different roles, hoping I had helped some people along the way, but not completely feeling I was fulfilling my dream (and not sure why).

Fast forward a few years….I got married, had my children and, as many of us are, is a busy mom with multiple calendars to keep track of all the schedules of our family.  My career was put on hold for a time when I was busy with my young babies and toddlers, but I ached to get back to helping people.  I had reached my dream of having a family, whom I love more than life. 

I never stopped dreaming of fulfilling my dream of helping people in a way that I was totally passionate about.  I was searching, and wasn’t ready or willing to give up that search.  I had my husband, my children, a job, a house, but I knew there was still something out there. 

Then Stork Support was born!  This is IT!  I never dreamed of co-owning a business, but when the opportunity arose, I jumped in with two feet.

I am thankful for Stork Support.  It has become the dream I didn’t know I had.    Many of us (myself included) get bogged down with the day to day tasks, and don’t always pay attention to the dreams we have had.  Think of a dream that you have for yourself (as little as it may be), and don’t forget it.  This is the first step in reaching that dream.   I am urging everyone reading this to keep reaching, keep searching, and don’t settle for something if you know there is something else.        

Sincerely,

From the Stork’s Nest~
