Thankful for a sick day

Today I am thankful for being home sick! I know, I know, not a usual thing to be thankful for, but it was a day away from the office that I was able to rest and think.
I had some much needed time to talk to God. I told him how I want to really LIVE my life. I am sick of being afraid to take chances on my dreams.
I want to inspire and encourage people (especially through my artwork). I want to find a strong church family and meet new people. I want to share my gifts, thoughts, and insights...really impact someone's life in a positive way. I want to travel. I want to sing, laugh, and cry in public without holding back. I cant wait to meet the man I will marry. I excited to plan my own wedding and help plan my sister's wedding. I cant wait to start a family and be an aunty to my sisters kids.
God knows all my dreams. I am trusting him to grant me those, otherwise why would he have put them on my heart.
But for now, until all these dreams come to pass, I want to enjoy the simple things in life...
