Lately our son has been telling us that he wants to move to a small town so that he can be free to ride his bike around outside and see more nature. Perhaps this is just a natural consequence of my husband and I dragging him out of town on rural day trips every weekend. Spending a week at Camp Waskowitz made a huge impact on him as the natural beauty and peacefulness touched a place deep in his spirit.
This recession had an impact on us as it did many others, and it seemed to tax our psychic energy for quite a while. As time went on and things got better we realized that it has been a long time since we set goals as a family that we could get excited about.
Inexplicably we are drawn to natural beauty and quiet, open spaces. While I love the city, in the end, as they say, "Green Acres is the place to be". In short, our goal is to, in less than 5 years, be in a place where we can have a view something like the picture above. I had almost forgotten how setting a goal really gets you organized, energized and motivated to get everything set in motion. Here's to turning dreams into goals and bringing them to fruition.
