Your Dreams

My dream is similar to all of yours. I dream about having my own cruise ship and RV and I'd travel all around the world with them. There would be no time limit, money issues, health issues. Maybe spread the word about disorders as I go along through art, etc.

I have trouble with the strength part also, but you have something valuable. You have knowledge. Some times you can trade that knowledge for labour. I used to be shy about asking for help but not anymore. If some one comes to my place looking for a way to do something or they want to know if they are doing it right, I put them to work while I explain it. If I don't have the answer I usually can find it on the net. People want to help, it makes them feel good to do good. A lot of the time they look for things to do just as soon as they arrive. Some times they ask me to look for something for them and while I'm doing that they look for something to do that I can't. Today I gave away my old electronic lift chair.(I bought a new one). In exchange she did some work in my greenhouse that I couldn't do. I remember when I was healthy I would help others. What goes around comes around. I have to go next week and direct pruning some trees and in exchange they will dig up some rose suckers for me. Nothing worse than sitting in a chair feeling useless. In times past elders were looked to for there knowledge. Odd to think of Myself as an elder but I guess I am. And as far as acceptance goes, What will it matter when I am dead and gone if I didn't get every thing done.

Well, when I was thinking of the cruise ship, I also knew about the viruses on board some of them, the pirates on the seas and I also know I would probably miss my family at some point, and  I don't have that kind of money - lol.  but it's a nice dream nonetheless.  As for the 20/20 hindsight, you bet, I got lots of things I would love to do over and erase some I'm not proud of.
Having a creative mind I'm always aware of all the stuff I would love to do inside and outside the house but ... either am not strong enough or don't have the resources.  The strength part is frustrating because I know, I know how to do it.  This is where acceptance comes in I guess. sigh....

I would change a few of the things in my life that I did wrong if circumstance would allow it, and of course it would need time. Hind sight is 20/20. There are also things that I did do that I would like to do again only for longer if the circumstance and time had of been available. Dreaming and fantasy can be good time wasters for the disabled, better than dwelling on how life has dealt you a bum hand. Just as long as they stay entertainment and not your life. I can dream about how I would landscape these acres if I had the time and money, but I know it won't happen and that is Okay.

Something like that.

Sometimes I think I would like to have my own recreational vehicle get in it by myself and just go I no not where.  Just drive from place to place, stay for a while and when I need a change of scenery just pick up and move on to another place.  If I was to find a place I wanted to stay forever than I would  put down stakes and call it home.  This place would have a big meadow, be lush and green and vibrant and their would be beautiful flowers everywhere.  Everyone would be young and never get sick. Their would be no sadness, stress or anxiety or fear.  It would be a place where you would feel nothing but joy happiness and peace.   I had a dream about this place while traveling and camping in New Mexico.  I was laughing and giggling and skipping threw this meadow in my dream. I was 9 or 12 and my husband was their with me.  My giggling woke me up from this dream and I tried to go back to sleep and back to the dream but could not.   I have been thinking about this place ever since.  I sometimes think I will find it when I am out traveling.  I long for this place. I think I saw heaven in my dream that night. It was so real and I know I will be their again some day, just not in this life time. When I am stressed or depressed I think of this place and I can feel all its beauty and peace and I am ok again.   I am not afraid of death because I know how beautiful  it is on the other side.

okay, time and circumstance?  what would you wish for?  I let my fantasy take me to travelling.  I'm not trying to be nosy, just playful here.  but if you think it's nosy, just ignore me.

I suppose I would like to travel too. But it would take a great amount of resources and there is no time. There are also things that no amount of resource or time can fix. Best just to make the best of it and be satisfied. Life could have been worse. All and all still this is a good question. It should bring to the surface some longings and some dissatisfactions with life. Two causes for anxiety you may not be aware of. I doubt that anyone here can truthfully say they do not long for something different. I know I do, and I think that I have had a good life. Now if you were to offer me time and circumstance, I would want something else entirely.

Ashley:  TRAVEL, TRAVEL, TRAVEL - take a ship cruise around the world and stay anchored somewhere I liked for as long as I wished and write, then when I'm ready go to the next place.   sigh.....

Members,
 
If time and resources were not a concern what are the things you long do?
