Don’t we always say “I’ll do it someday.” Or “It’ll happen someday.” Yes, the
answer is yes we say it all the time. Maybe not even verbally but mentally we
let the opportunity or experience pass us by because we figure there is more
time.
What if we changed our thinking? What if we lived each day
as our “Someday.” Making each moment, opportunity, experience count. Making the
most of everything even the hard/difficult moments.
I know this is vague and your Someday thoughts might be
toward something that’s not attainable right now like a new car (because finances
are tight) or a house. Those are
great things to hope for and always continue to pray for your needs no matter how
little it may seem. God loves the little things too. He wants to bless us. He
loves us and wants more for us then even our “someday” list could contain.
How can you make today your someday? By listening to your
kids more or taking note in the way they do things….cause someday you may be
able to tell them “You always loved figuring things out. I’m so proud of you
son for becoming an engineer” Who knows right? Only God knows but I want to
make sure I don’t miss anything He has for me by pausing. Press play on your
life. Allow His crazy-amazing plans to happen in your life by not saying
someday but instead making that someday TODAY!
What’s holding you back? If its finances that’s one thing
but if its fear or maybe someone else. Break free of that. I’m a born again
Christian who loves Jesus and I’m NOT perfect but I do know that Christ died
for my mess-ups in life and has given me the opportunity to have Him live
in/through me. Praise God for that…I’m so much better when He speaks for me... Point is – whether you
know Jesus or not step out. What do you have to lose?
*Go on that vacation
you’ve been planning with your husband for 10 years. Stop planning it (and yes,
that’s coming from a professional planner) GO. Book it now.
*Take the dance class that you think you’re too old for…who
cares! You’ll be the best dancer at your 20 year high school reunion.
*Go skydiving (keep in mind I’m NEVER going to do this but if
its your someday activity I will try to support you even though it terrifies me:)
*Eat at a NEW restaurant. Yes that can be a someday. You pass
it all the time and either you say “It’s too fancy for date night” or “I’m not
sure if I’ll like the food” How will you know unless you try it. SO GO TRY IT!
Don’t get stuck in a rut. If you’re married keep it young
& fun. Change it up. Go back in time and remember how you felt on that
first date. Recreate, Revive, Restore that feeling by simply making today your
Someday. Doing something he always wanted to do or trying some place he always
hinted in trying…or going! Plan
it. Do it!
If it’s the kids – get a sitter! Get family to help. A
neighbor. We all have someone that can help with the kids. Make it a priority.
The kids will thank you later as you keep up a healthy marriage and show them
to always keep things alive in your relationship.
Today’s Someday – played “racetrack” like a professional
announcer with my kids. Racetrack in our home is basically Gianna and Joseph on
their plasma riders racing each other in circles around our kitchen as I
proclaim “Ready, Set, Go” Then I
proceed to speak announcery (yes, I know that’s not a real word ) and say
“Gianna is coming around the track, Joseph is hot on her tail, there’s no
winner folks it’s a game for fun, that’s right a game for fun so lets do it
kids…let’s have fun”
I don’t know if this blog will mean anything to you or if it’ll
just be a place for me to “get it out” but either way I hope and certainly pray
you do listen to that small voice inside of you saying “Do it” , “Go for
it” Why wait?
This blog will venture into all kinds of somedays. Daily
ones and “bucket” list ones. I’ll also be reviewing/rating mostly local fare. Restaurants, activities…whatever I might attend. Rachael’s Rating
will appear from time to time. So if you live in the Sarasota/Bradenton,
Florida area and want an honest opinion you can find it here.
Till next time…
