ideal day

this morning, i stood by the sink scrubbing a potato. i've been making homefries and eggs every morning for the past month or so, per sena's request (although aiyana and i are really into it now too). i was still sleepy, and my mind started to wonder unfocused.

i thought, (no, actually i felt), how nice it would be to wake up whenever i'm ready to, and then have a shower. just that. what a treat! then, i imagined following with a really good breakfast. soon, i realized that i was in the process of visualizing my "ideal" day.

the first part of the visualization, above, was very clear. the rest of it was a little more unfocused, in the sense that it involved feelings more than the actual circumstances that would bring about those feelings. in any case, for the rest of my day, i imagined being out in nature (maybe gardening, hiking, something like that); getting together with friends and having fun; spending some time writing, painting, cooking, daydreaming, or doing something creative; and having enough family time to talk and connect with each other.

i was very happy to realize that my "ideal" day is actually very realistic, and i can see it coming along not too long from now. the only thing is that there's no activity in it directed twds making money, and hopefuly that won't be a problem....

and of course, my ideal day is probably going to look very different if you catch me on a different day, different season, different mindset, etc. not to mention that i can imagine other "ideal" days that would look nothing like what i've described here... but these don't fit within the current context of my life, so i figured i'd better not spend too much energy on them now.

peace
