Ten

Daily writing prompt

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

The last time someone asked me a question like this, it was, “where do you see yourself in five years?”

At the time, I had just separated from my ex-husband, I had not-so-great test results on a right heart catheterization, and I was contemplating my move to Tennessee.

That was in the spring of 2022.

I now have a year left in that five-year dream, and I’m honestly not sure if it will become a reality.

Could I see myself with all those things I want within five years? Sure, but I have learned in this time that my version of how/when things should happen rarely, if ever, aligns with God’s plan and how things actually work out.

So, to answer this question, in ten years, I pray that I will stay the person who is focused on her health, helping others feel like they matter, and living as fully, and simply as possible.

I hope that God is writing me an amazing love story that is finally going to quiet the doubts in my mind and the people who don’t understand why I haven’t settled, yet again.

I believe that no matter where I am ten years from now, I will be exactly where, and with who, I’m supposed to be.

My life hasn’t gone as I have planned, but with all its flaws, valleys, and seemingly impossible peaks, it has been better than I could have imagined.

I’m only co-writing this story and the main author? Well, he’s got it all figured out.
