So here's my dream...

So here's my dream for my life. Are you ready? Ok. I want to live in a small house with more windows than walls and pretty antique furniture that I will paint after finding at a garage sale. I want a big fluffy white bed with lots of soft pillows and a colorful quilt at the foot. I want to live high up. Whether that's on a seaside cliff, the mountains, hills near the coast, or in a tree; I want to be close to the sky. I want pretty fairy lights in every room and every inch of my property so matter the size. I want a garden full of veggies and yummy things. I want flowers too. Lots and lots of flowers. I want to make art in a little studio with no walls, just windows. I want to live near enough to the coast so I can take morning walks on the beach and smell the salty air from my balcony. I want to own a flower shop/cafe where all the tables and chairs are kind colors. I want to serve people wholesome healthy happy food in the front cafe and design beautiful arrangements of flowers for every occasion in the back flower shop. I want to know my regular customers by name. I want my kids to come home from school all bright and cheery, bouncing into the cafe for a bite to eat. I want my husband to be my best friend and business partner. He can carry the big boxes and put things on the top shelf where I can't reach. I want him to help me with running our little business. Maybe we'll live upstairs from the cafe/flower shop. I want all the colors to be warm and bright and cheerful. This is my dream. This is how I want to settle down in life. This is how I want to raise my children and love my husband. With love, sunshine, and a garden. I want my parents to visit often and be excited about my little cafe/flower shop. But before I settle down in this lovely life. I want to see a bit of the world. Gather recipes for the cafe and stories for the customers. Pictures for the walls and souvenirs for the bookshelves. This is my dream. I know it is a big dream. And one that will cost money and time and energy and it won't always be rainbows and butterflies. But that's what dreams are. Perfect realities we can strive toward. Something to look forward to. My mom always says. You always need something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to. Amen to that.
