Goldilocks has nothing on me!
Twenty-five years ago, I made a promise to myself that someday I would live where I could lie outside in a pool with the sun on my face, my arms outstretched, and my heart wide open. Ever since I was a little girl, that has been my idea of a sacred experience, feeling completely at one with nature.
As an adult, countless moves and changing circumstances kept that dream just out of reach. The space was too small. The tub was too heavy. Rental restrictions got in the way. There was always something.
Like Goldilocks, the porridge had to be just right!
So here I am, twenty-five years later…
My hot tub is being delivered.
After persistently asking every dealer within miles, “Can you find a tub that meets these requirements?” I finally found it.
Josh, the manager at Dream Hot Tubs, listened to what I was hoping for and said, “Let’s keep looking.” Just as I was about to leave disappointed once again, he called me back over to look at a new model.
It was just right.
And to fulfill my even bigger dream of being able to swim in it, they’re installing a swim tether anchor, an exercise bar, and even making it possible for me to add an underwater bike.
It’s truly everything I’ve ever wanted.
So, Goldilocks, thanks for the inspiration.
Sometimes we have to hear “no”… and “no”… and “no” for a really long time. But when that “yes” finally comes, it’s the sweetest porridge we could ever imagine.
So hang in there if you’re holding onto an impossible dream.
It just might need a little longer to cook.
