The Perfect Day

Okay, just imagine it, while you are sleeping, a miracle happens. Everything that was holding you back from having the perfect day is gone. You wake up, what is the first thing you notice that tells you this miracle has happened? What do you do? Do you sleep in or wake early? How would you spend this perfect day and who would you spend it with? What about in the evening? How does your perfect day go? Remember, there are no limits, a miracle has happened! If you needed money, you have it, if you needed to be older/younger/ fitter, it's done.

This was an exercise that I did recently when I realized I really didn't know what to do next. After looking at my perfect day I looked at things that I could do to come closer to that reality. One of those steps includes decorating my bedroom. I've put it off because no one ever sees my room but us and so I should get the rest of the house done first. What I've noticed, though, is that I need a nice, restful place to be and I should have a nice bedroom. Also, I don't know what I want my sanctuary to be like. Do I want something that reminds me of the forest or the beach? Both of those are relaxing to me. Or do I want a more feminine, romantic feel? So to help me decide I went to the paint store and got paint samples and pictures to look at and hang on the wall to see which ones I gravitate to.

I am also making plans on how I want our yard to look and finding ideas for my own personal garden that I will have someday. Robert and I have a lot of space and it will be nice to get all this space organized and landscaped. I want a few more trees, like a maple tree and a weeping willow tree, but I don't know where I want to put them. I think that would be a good project to do for a date night with Robert. I guess I do have plans for the future now.
