Lately I’ve been thinking about what I want out of this life of mine. It’s actually quite a tough question. Do I go crazy and fantasize about the “perfect” life, do I focus only on the practical, or is the answer somewhere in between?
I’m taking the in between route and here are a few of my thoughts so far, in no particular order.
- I would homeschool/unschool my girls.
- I would live in a bigger town where I had more personal connections with people.
- Some of those people would have kids in the same age range as mine and we could have dinners together and chat while the kids play.
- My work would be inspiring to me, I would not be dealing with bureaucracy.
- I would get out in nature more often, hiking, biking, etc.
- Our family would spend part of the summer traveling. Road trips and camping around the continent.
- We would have some international travel too.
- I would get a better household rhythm going and would develop some daily and seasonal rituals for my family. This is where I go all “Waldorfy”.
- I would practice yoga everyday.
- We would have a garden and I would bake more.
- I would not drink alcohol or coffee, and I wouldn’t miss them.
- Our species would stop trashing our planet.
- World Peace “Some may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one, perhaps someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.”
So what do you think. Is it time for me to log on to Second Life? Seriously though, I know that only I can make my dreams come true and that I need to make some choices and follow through on them. I need a plan, and I’m working on it. One step at a time.
What are you dreaming about?
