Daydreaming

I was driving to my brother's house yesterday and I saw a man walking his German Shepherd dog. I thought, "I want a German Shepherd. When I get a house, I'm going to get a German Shepherd...it's my favorite dog!" My next thought was, "I want a house. I know I can't have one now, but some day, when I'm out of school for a little bit and making better money, I'm going to get a house!" As I drove and pondered these two wants it seemed like a list was forming at the back of my mind, and as dangerous as it sounds, I daydreamed the rest of the way to my brother's house. It was like I was seeing the road and making rational driving decisions but my mind's eye was running a movie of my life in the future and may I just say, it was a pretty sweet life.

I totally believe it's okay to have wants. I recognize that I may not get them, and that's okay, but at the same time I really enjoy thinking about wants and sometimes I allow myself to mull and muse over my list. I'm doing that right now... musing... and mulling.

So there's the dog, and the house... not necessarily in that order, of course. The house will hopefully be classic looking on the outside (two-story, wrap around porch, big back yard - like the house Julia Roberts moved into in "Sleeping With The Enemy") and totally updated on the inside (like the house JR moved out of on the same movie). If I can't find an original I'll build one to suit. I'm not planning on being rich, but my brother IS in the construction business. Yay! I like warm interiors with clean lines and a combination of cute and interesting accents. NO COUNTRY BLUE AND PINK thank you. Stainless steel or white appliances - can't decide yet... Detached garage? Probably. I'm going to think more on that.

I want a piano. I took lessons for 9 years when I was growing up and haven't had regular access to one in such a long time. I used to play for therapy. Sometimes I'd play in the dark when no one was home. If I was sad I could play and cry and not worry about anyone seeing or not understanding... I can imagine being in my house, with the lights off... maybe one candle is lit and I'm just playing by touch. Nothing hardcore or complicated, just a sweet or sad melody to soothe me... My sweet dog at my side... sigh.

That's enough for now. I'm going to go daydream a bit more. This will probably be a two or three parter. LOL.
