Daydreams

I spend a lot of my time daydreaming. If I could get paid for daydreaming, I would be a multi-millionaire. On days like today, a day when, after days of rain, wind advisories, frost and freeze warnings, the sun engulfs the entire day, presenting mid 70s temperatures, it is hard not to get swept away.

I see so many people in my life doing exactly what they want to be doing, musicians, photographers, teachers and such. Perhaps I tend to surround myself around more 'artsy' people than business folks, I don't really encounter a lot of people who eagerly wake up in the morning and say "let's sit in rush hour traffic, deal with jerks and get ridiculed all day" to think that retail, business, customer service work seems to be the daydreamers of the bunch.

Or maybe I just identify more with the daydreamer jobs, the ones most people, even grown men and women, dream of having one day, but never consider it more than a dream. I don't know exactly, but what I do know is, days like today make me think.

I want to do something I love. I want to do something that makes me jump for joy when I wake up in the morning.

What is that something for me? Besides wandering around in my PJs for as long as I want, making breakfast for the family and ushering them out for the day, only to wrap myself in solitude in front of my computer with a cup of coffee. Yes that is my dream day. Take a break at lunchtime and take a walk with the dogs… go for a jog when the kids come home. Live my day inside my dreams, my daydreams…and bring them to life. 

That is my dream

Now, I have to retract slightly. I said before that I don't really encounter a lot of people eager to start their customer service day. I apologize, that was an erroneous error.  My darling husband loves his customer service job and does just that. And, quite honestly, he is the most influential in my desire to move towards what generates joy in my soul. He has worked very hard removing himself from the corporate office day job to the customer service spirits industry job he has steadily moved further up the ladder for. I admire that immensely and I strive to see that within myself. 

What kind of daydreams do you have? Do you daydream?
