The Front

Coming home from an awesome vacation can be difficult. In many ways, you feel ready to jump back into the rat race and accomplish a lot. But on the other hand, you have grown accustomed to the awesome vacation life...

I would love to find that happy medium - a location in the rat race where I feel like me 100% of the time - and not someone the rat race makes me. And daily naps. I want daily naps on a daily basis.

I want to use my brain to accomplish great things - then spend a half hour or so in the hot tub.

I wonder what it would be like to mesh my personal desires with my professional desires. To call in sick when I need to catch up on reading Kurt Vonnegut, or feel like riding my bike instead.

I wonder what it would be like to have a money tree that only me and my family and friends can have access to. And since I've crossed the reality border paragraphs ago, the money tree must regrow its leaves within a week.

That would be sweet.

And then I could go wherever I want - which right now means someplace that my hands and feet are not constantly cold and my wine is not my whine...

Oh my! Sweet dreams my sweet! Dreams come true but you have to make it happen. I don't think you can do the Money Tree Dream but that is the sweetest of all!Your dreams are similar to many others (didn't want to hear that, did you?). Retirement makes some of those dreams come true but by then you have so much time on your hands that life is easier and you start having different dreams! As for the cold ... I have no answer.
