Grab a butterfly net and catch my thoughts.

Last week, I asked someone I got to know recently what she'd do if she could be anyone/anything she want, regardless of education requirements and where she is now...

She said 2 things.

1. An athlete.

2. A Full time mother.

I was surprised. At both answers.

Both didn't seem to require high levels of education in order to achieve it. I guess what struck me was the simplicity of it all.

I had this creepy feeling that I had unconsciously become one of those ... those people, who put success in something like career and such, and spends most of their time doing it. Apparently I'm moosh over this cos that's practically what I'm busy with these days. Even missing the things I never NEVER used to miss in the past. I thought there was something wrong.. with what I'm doing. OK, perhaps its just different, not wrong?

OK, nothing wrong being an athlete. I'm totally fine with that. (Just surprised she was that sporty to want that.) But a full time mother... Mm.. I myself wouldn't mind that. But I think I have so much ambition and dreams for putting my life to good use, that I might have put certain things in second place. Which... I'm not sure is a good thing.. or a bad thing for now, since there's a season for this and that and whatever that I haven't yet mentioned. A time for everything remember?

Today I went swimming in the morning with my dad and visited my grandma before going home to prepare to go to work. On the way home, i was telling daddy how nice it is to pick up swimming again and visit granny more often. He said to enjoy simple life. 

I actually said.. 'but its boring!' [ I really didn't mean it literally.] He laughed.

He corrected himself,  'A peaceful life.'

I repeated myself, without really meaning it, just wanting to make him laugh again. He chuckled.

I love peaceful days. But I think I have too much ambition in me... Should I curb it?

I wondered about a simple life. Is a simple life without riches but busy doing good, still a simple life? Or just plain busy? Or how about, just staying at home taking care of kids? And not doing anything else? I wouldn't last without doing at least something else, I think. Perhaps its just my young, immature mind who only knows life within the confines of school/student life. Perhaps its just I haven't done much with my life yet.

Well, children can be quite a handful though.

That, I know.
