imagining
Today I’m imagining. I’m imagining what it’s going to feel like when that last $1,504.00 of old credit card debt is no longer owed to my creditor. I’m imagining how great it’s going to sound when I’ll be able to say, "I don’t have ANY credit card debt." I’m imagining being able to say, "I’m a homeowner." "My house." "My home."
I’m imagining what it will be like to see a nice blazer on display in a store while passing by and say, "I want that." I’m envisioning myself stopping in my tracks, walking into the store, picking up the blazer, looking at the tag, and then… smiling because I don’t care how much it cost, since I can afford it. I’m imagining finding my size, trying it on, taking it to the counter, and handing the salesperson a credit card with a zero balance to charge it. I’m imagining paying the balance from my checking account on my laptop, over a cup of chai tea, sitting in my own office. The office with a cushy rug, and a cushy couch, with a warm throw and honey-colored bookshelves lining the walls. I’m imagining me imagining my new blazer with 5 or 6 things I already own and love to wear.
But I’m going to stop this foolishness right now, because that wouldn’t even happen. Just because I can afford something doesn’t mean that I’m not going to care how much it costs. If that blazer costs too much, I’m walking right back out of that store - I can find one just as nice somewhere else for a better price!
But the rest of that fantasy… I’ll keep it.
Y’all have a nice weekend!
ok time to wake up ! snap**
Each year that goes by you will be closer to that goal
Just stay focus, and sometimes that can be the hardest part
