But then there are the silly little things I hope to 'be about' along the way too. Like, I want to have a garden of my own. I want to grow wonderful things from the ground, wonderful flowers and beautiful produce. This really is a desire that I possess. The irony is that I am awful at keeping my already grown plants alive. I water them too late, usually when the leaves are already wilting and droopy but they usually come right back to life, really! I have one plant in particular that was designed for me, as soon as it looks completely dead I am reminded to water it and within one day - usually I start to see results within the hour, it is perky and full of life again. But I really want to have part of me 'be about' a real live garden...
hmm... other things I want to be about on that same playing field, in no particular order are: tea - I want to learn how to make my own tea with herbs and spices. Origami - I decided today that I want my babies to only have origami mobiles made by me!
I want to write and read in order to give and obtain knowledge or experience, I would love to be able to speak another language, I want to travel and not be so spoiled and comfortable. I want to be less wasteful and more thoughtful in how I consume. As I write, I realize that I can easily choose these things and 'be about' all of them quite easily. I want to live a life that is simply grounded in a foundation that Christ has laid for me to grow my roots and sprout and that simply and complexly creates a calm and wonderful atmosphere for others. This life I want to 'be about' smells so incredible and is so relaxed and fulfilling. I think these are definitely some things I will choose to 'be about'
