The Obvious Goal I Wish Most to Accomplish Now: Family

I had grown up in a family where a lot of emphasis was placed on education. My siblings and I went to the best schools, starting from our primary education up till post-graduate.

So I centered a lot of my orientation on education and self-development. Even when I worked at my longest job, in my free time, I was always doing one short course or another. If you asked me about goals, I always inclined my answers towards one educational pursuit or another.

I am not sure at the exact time when I stopped thinking that way. Suddenly, all I wanted to do was have a family. Everything else became secondary. I was not so fazed by educational pursuits anymore. For crying out loud, I had spent over three decades of my life doing just that.

I became more intentional while dating and invested in my relationships. Suddenly, I hardly turned down invites to functions. Relationships began from meeting people. I also changed my diet. I knew you became what you ate. The same applies to the babies you make.

I suspect by supernatural intervention and perhaps to reward some of my efforts; I got married last year. Hubby has become the center of my world. To get things right, I am not the lovey-dovey type. I am just a singularly focused person and so my spouse has my focus now.

A lot of decisions I have taken in the past one year have been family centric; my current job, my choice of a home, the purchases I make and my finances.

Now, we are trying for a baby. I am on an extended vacation for that sole purpose. Yesterday, I stumbled on my favorite book of all time, Healing foods. I guess I needed a fresh reminder to keep my diet optimum to align with my baby goals.
