"What Did You Imagine?"

When I was younger.....,

I imagined that someday I would have a beautiful wife and several strapping sons.

I imagined that If I worked hard I could have a decent job that I enjoyed, and which allowed me lots of freedom.

I imagined that eventually I may have a place in the country with a few acres.

I imagined that one day I would be exceptionally fit and perhaps complete a long distance triathlon.

I imagined that at some point my big sisters would be proud of me.

I imagined the possibility of being able to travel a little.

BUT.....

It never once occurred to me to imagine that I would have 2 beautiful grandchildren living next door to me.

I never once imagined an orange tractor with hydrostatic drive.

I never imagined that I would be accepting of the swallows building a nest on top of my garage door opener

It also never ocurred to me to imagine an incredible opportunity to work in Brazil.

AND....

Hell, I'm only 54 years old and I can only imagine what is still to come.
