A Dreamy Place

There are many things and places I dream about. Such as vacationing in Bora Bora, having a box of macaroons from Laduree delivered to my doorstop { they don't deliver but just maybe this could be changed}, having the chance to be blessed with children someday, {especially with a daughter so she can bear a version of my mother's name}. I dream about retiring near the coast and owning a beach cottage, having groceries delivered to my home as I despise grocery shopping, having an amazing closet that is full of pull out drawers and shelves from floor to ceiling, having a claw foot bathtub, and living in Paris. Honestly, my list could go on and on. In fact, I recently attended a seminar regarding 'the inner strengths within you' and one of my top strengths was being futuristic. This can be taken that I like to dream or shall I say I want a lot of "fairytales" to happen in life, and when something doesn't go as I have envisioned I become sad. I don't usually stay sad for very long. I soon realize that maybe its a good thing that my original thoughts {I mean fairytale ideas} don't always work out. In the end it makes me appreciate the moment for what it is worth and with a lot more gratitude.

So lovely readers do you have a place where you go to dream or what is it that you often dream about? I know I can't be the only dreamer!

  1. I have dreamt of going to Paris, so I cannot wait to get there in May. One place that draws me back to it is New York. I love going there and discovering new neighborhoods and little shops. I could live there for sure!

  2. I dream of owning a beach house. Waking in the morning and taking a long run on the beach, on running trails by a marina, and just breathing the clean/fresh/ocean air. And then going to a farmers market to purchase daily fresh produce and fish to cook. Every afternoon I would spend time in my garden, and I'd have cute gardening shoes and gloves.....

    *sigh* I am having ocean withdrawals from last week

  3. It's important to have dreams. They keep us striving onwards and upwards. I dream of owning a home someday. I dream of finding my Mr. Right. i dream of having children. I dream of finding a career that is a great fit.

  5. Bonjour,
    Just found your beautiful blog via LeeAnn @ Fabulously French. I love your list of dreams. The Laduree delivery is a definite winner, and I'm still working on the claw foot bath. You're right, I want to continue to appreciate each moment of this fairy tale I am living!
    I'll be following along and will be back soon.
    Bon weekend,
    Mimi

  7. You are absolutely right! Dreaming is what keeps me going, and if one dream doesn't work out, I keep on dreaming! Have a great week.
