MamaKat's Writers Workshop prompt that I chose is...
"Where would you like to be."
Well, how do you like THAT for an open ended question!!!
*
Where would I like to be RIGHT NOW?
In Ten years?
Geographically speaking?
Spiritually speaking?
Physically speaking?
Mentally speaking?
Hypothetically speaking?
See what I'm getting at... that was a great question...opens up all kinds of other questions to be answered... so I think I will answer them all.
*
I would like to be... right now... on a luxurious ocean liner, in Europe, with my hubby and kids, enjoying a fabulous dinner and the twinkling lights of Greece.
*
In Ten years...Done paying tuition... finally... enjoying the spoils of doing a good job raising my sons, and traveling the world with my hubby and friends. Oh! and Sunday Dinners with my sons and their wives...(no! too young!) or girlfriends... hopefully no grandchildren until they are married!
*
Geographically speaking? Central California Coast... the beach as my front door, and a vineyard as my back yard...
*
Spiritually speaking? I would like to feel more peace in God, and talk more with Him, and spend more time in prayer and meditation.
*
Physically speaking...I need to be a LOOOOT more active, to get this weight off.
My goal is to do 10,000 steps a day... I bought a pedometer today... so day one...is now.
*
Mentally speaking... I feel okay in this department. I'm not overly competitive, I think I have a good head on my shoulders, I just need to get more sleep... so either I cut my hubby's head off so he stops snoring... or, well.. I don't have an alternative!! LOL!
I know... Eeewwwww!
*
Hypothetically speaking?
My last name would be Gates or Buffett, and I'd be the biggest philanthropist imaginable...
I would love to one day hire a helicopter, and throw tons of cash out into the sky of an impoverished area...
*
BUT.... Where would I like to be?
Well... truth be told... I am a firm believer in loving oneself where we are at...
So... right here...
Leave Hubby's head attached, just seal it in a sound proof bag! {*grin*}
ReplyDeleteBoth my lovely wife and my dog snore. When they both fire up in a snorefest duet, sleep can be next to impossible.
I like bing right here too! (Although I wouldn't mind being on a luxury ocean liner!)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your final comments. I try to be happy where I am right now. We all like to daydream about other times and places, but I am content here and now. if you can instill that in your children, they will be happy adults.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. And I love your background by the way.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you-I may have a lot of "wishes" but there is no place I want to be then where I am and who I am with-
ReplyDeleteLove your summer background!!!
Awwwwwwwwwwww. Hire a helicopter and throw tons of cash into the sky over an impoverished area? How nice are you. That made my day. But then I started thinking about how it could land in a river and float away and other assorted thoughts. Sometimes I think to much! I love your idea. You are the nicest!
ReplyDeleteI love the Central Coast of California also, have family in San Luis Obispo. Great list!
ReplyDeleteOh! I just love you last statement. "Be where you're at because you're already there", right? Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to all the places you dream of!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! I want to knock on your front door by the ocean and eat dinner with you in the back overlooking the vineyard!
