Ideal life

In my ideal life, I would wake up at the crack of dawn, walk to church and begin the morning refreshed by it's glory. I will then walk up my porch facing the sea ready to tackle the day ahead. I will make breakfast and enjoy it slowly as I savor the sea breeze. I would then go to enjoy a lavish bath to which I'd close my eyes again as my senses enjoy the fragrance around.

After a refreshing bath, I will begin working in front of the computer and let the creative juice flow. I am a writer. If I need inspiration, all it will take is a quick stroll by the beach.

I will close my day helping out in my PUB just by a cozy cove nearby. I will not be cooking of course but I will be with regular guests who enjoy my simple food, warm ambiance of laughter and good crowd. No need to think about your order. We will serve you what the kitchen carefully planned for the evening. We will be singing, we will be dancing, we will be reading poetry. We will savor the good things in life in a party.

At certain times in the week, instead of writing, I will be driving to a nearby university...challenging my students in philosophy, in writing, in thinking. I will be talking to them instead of teaching them. I will read their work instead of checking them. I will learn from them instead of instructing them. I will inspire them instead of educating them.

On weekends, I would either be driving to a family's/ friend's house, doing community work, studying, learning a new recipe, doing pottery or sitting down with a new book.


If and when I get there...I'd let you know.
