Ideal Life

Lately, with all the stress of trying to find a place to live and issues at work that make me feel like less of a therapist and wanting more, I've been thinking/dreaming/whatever about what I really want out of life.

How I see how my ideal life would be lived is pretty easy. I'd own a bit of land that ideally has lots of trees. There's a place in Denton that I think of, though last I knew it was owned by someone else. But, there are other places I think of when I think of this land. It's also not completely country like in the middle of nowhere. I'd be within 15-20 minutes of a town. So it's pseudo-country.

Anyway. I'd have a house there and maybe an out building that was where I'd do my massages. The out building wouldn't be overly large; probably a small house or a place built out of hay like I've seen in Mother Earth News. The house would be just enough for me and include a craft room.

On Sundays, I'd go to church (UU if possible) and then enjoy the afternoon. In the evening, I'd plan my to do list for the week.

Most days, I'd write and crochet and massage. I'd have some sort of schedule. Like, I'm available to do massages certain times like I do now. Then, with that to do list I'd written, I'd plan accordingly. Do I need to finish a blanket? Great! On Monday I'd work on said blanket around my massage schedule. I'd listen to audiobooks and podcasts or watch TV whilst crafting.

I'd write some. Maybe get those rewrites finished and work on the one series and short stories.

I'd spend the evening on the porch- because of course I'd have a porch- and read or think or whatever.

I'd have friends over.

I'd laugh.

I'd be less anxious.
