A few things come to mind when I let my mind wander in these day dreams; of what I would do with my unlimited time, money, and energy (hey, it is a dream).
~I would grow the most amazing landscaped gardens. They would be a haven, a place that you could find tranquility and beauty and quiet. There would be paths of slate lined with manicured hedges of lavendar and boxwood surrounding islands of peonys, buddlea, phlox, and dahlias. There would be an arbor weighted down by clematis and wisteria over a stone bench. Shady corners filled with the cool green varigated leaves of hosta would give way to sunny patches filled with herbs and blooms. The sound of sighing wind, trickling water, and sleepy birds would permeate the air.
~I would be an accomplished hostess. One of the virtues that a Christian is to practice is hospitality, one I would like to work on more. Opening my home and preparing food for guests is a wonderful experience. Especially the cooking part. I love preparing food, it is truly a form of art.
~Weddings. I love everything about them; there is so much promise, anticipation, beauty, and love in a wedding. If I ever had another career (other than being a mom) it would be a wedding planner. I enjoy being involved in all the minute details of the event--the flowers, the dresses, the traditions, the parties! Even soothing frazzled nerves of brides-to-be.
Isn't it fun to dream? And to have these things to work toward...because someday they may come true.
