How to Live a Better Story

This absolutely wonderful post at Simple Mom, is an inspiration; a breath of fresh air and a challenge to blow off the old, dusty cobwebs to think about the way life works, or indeed how it happens to some people and not to others. The challenge is to think about your life in terms of the type of story you are currently living and the life you would like to be fashioning for yourself.  The beginning is all about asking the right questions, and in preparation for this, a dream list of whatifs. Here's my list of five:

What if I sold my house and traveled the world for a year
What if I took life a little less seriously
What if I found one fact or object every day to be astonished at/by
What if I worked harder at my daily writing routine
What if I could never be hurt by the words and actions of others

The original article is well worth visiting. I love it.
