Dreaming

Today I dream of...

• Owning a piece of land in the country with a meadow and a stream
• Tending a vegetable garden and maybe even a few laying hens, producing food to nourish myself and my loved ones
• Watching our dog Cassie run freely under the sun with no worries, ears flopping up & down, until she drops of blissful exhaustion
• Spending lazy afternoons in a hammock with a favourite book
• Hosting parties, gatherings and family reunions with laughter, music and hugs, hugs, hugs
• Sitting on the back porch with D, Cassie at our feet, gazing at the constellations and dreaming up the future
• Planting a butterfly garden
• Watching fairy-like fireflies dance in the night, reminding me that Mother Nature truly is magical
• Cooking healthy meals from scratch with ingredients fresh out of the garden, savouring them with D on some nights, sharing them with friends on others
• Learning how to sew, preserve food and live more self-sufficiently
• Working the soil, making a happy home, being a good steward to our space
• Simplifying my belongings to include only what soothes body, mind and soul
• Gathering wild strawberries
• Delighting in bird songs
• Walking barefoot in the grass

That's not too much to ask on a Wednesday afternoon is it? :)
