Killing spree

Daily writing prompt
What will your life be like in three years?

I’m not a dreamer, not a planner, not a goal setter. In three years, god willing, my life will be exactly as it is now. Happily unsatisfied, but happy just the same.

I’m really too lazy to chase anything bigger or better.

I don’t really want the responsibility and the chaos of winning a million dollars. I prefer the simple life I have right now. I’m grateful to have enough money to buy groceries and pay the bills. Thankful to be able to save up for a holiday next year.

In three years Sid will be almost seven years old. I will be fifty, ughhhh yikes. I hope to be in the same house, at the same job and with the same fine lines on my face as I do now. I might even have the same car but that’s pushing it as I like to change cars the way some people change underwear.

I hope to have more indoor house plants in three years, I really went on a house plant killing spree this past year and I’m not sure why. I had close to forty plants last year at this time and I’ve lost quite a few. I want to get that number back up there.

    I think I share your mindset about living a simple life πŸ™‚ Age is just a number – what matters is how you feel! πŸ™‚ The photo is absolutely cute and heartwarming 😊

    1. Age IS just a number! I’ve tried explaining that to my three older kids lol, my calendar age might be 47 but I don’t feel 47 and if I want to get my lip or eyebrow pierced or wear clothes that a lady my age wouldn’t generally wear, I will do it anyway. When I was young I used to judge people for dressing “younger” than they should, thinking they were trying to pretend they were younger but now I see that they were just being themselves and I’m all for it. Sorry, I’ve kind of gone off on a tangent here lol πŸ˜‰
      And thanks so much!

        This is the right attitude, and I admire that πŸ™‚
        You should wear whatever your soul feels like wearing πŸ™‚
        Additionally, you look younger than you are, and 40 is not considered senior now. Even 50 doesn’t count as senior anymore πŸ˜‰ Still a lot ahead of you πŸ™‚

  3. This seems wisdom to me, recognizing that the place you’re in is a good one. You’re a tree that nurtures everything around you and under which Sid will grow up strong. ❀
