This is a list of thoughts and dreams that have made me smile over the years. Many of them have changed, and I expect many more changes as life progresses. There are still many places that I would like to see, but know are improbable. As time passes, these visions will probably fade and become closer to home. I am already seeing this to a certain extent.
Walking between whitewashed, thatched houses in a small Irish town
Owning and operating a small, warm cafe with a hefty dose of European influence
Living in a cozily refurbished carriage house in downtown Charleston
Revisiting dear old London and once again having tea and wonderful bread pudding in downtown Oxford
Finishing attempted projects in a timely fashion
Having my home and yard look as if they could be featured in a Home and Garden magazine
Viewing the Taj Mahal at dawn and dusk
Watching my kids achieve their dreams
Becoming a model or singer/songwriter
Falling through a wardrobe and discovering that Narnia really exists
Visiting and exploring the Holy Land at peace with itself and the rest of the world
Writing a novel or having my photographs published
Taking in the Northern Lights
Walking along the shore on Prince Edward Island in very Anne fashion
Experiencing the best of the Orient
Seeing New York City (especially Rockefeller Center) during the Christmas season
Creating family traditions that won't fade away
Roadtripping out west - especially Montana and San Francisco
Seeing New England in the fall
Paris la nuit, or milling around streets in the rain
Being old and content...carefree and surrounded by family
Attending the jazz festival in New Orleans
Wishing life were a Thomas Kinkaide painting - honestly...does it get any closer to perfection than that?
To be continued at a later date...
