In the past, negativity, sadness, anxiety, and worry clouded both my waking, and sleeping dreams. I was so good at imagining a different reality for myself, that the emotions I felt were real. Unfortunately, I never concentrated that good imagination on anything positive. Life is different now. I see so many good things in life, that I find it impossible to take my thoughts, and dreams down such negative paths.

In the past couple of days, I have come to the realization that this is a very exciting time in my life. Once my divorce is final, I will be truly single – no husband, no boyfriend, no children – for the first time in over 20 years. Granted, I do feel some anxiety at the thought of that. However, for the most part, I am looking at it as a new adventure for me to experience. I have had a few day dreams about what my life could be like – especially if I had a car, and some money – as I embark on this new journey.

If I had the means to do so, I would love to be able to just jump into a car and drive around the US. One of the things I would like to do is to meet some of my blogging friends. People like Margaret, Jacqui, Chrisa, and Kristina – there are many more in addition to those four. I think it would be wonderful to put faces, and voices to the lives I read about everyday.

I would also like to revisit the many places in the US that I was fortunate to be able to see when I was a child. As a kid I appreciated the things that I got to see, but it was from a child’s perspective. It would be awesome to go to those same places, and view them from the perspective of an adult, with the memories of a child. Going back to Yellow Stone Park would definitely be near the top of my list of places to visit again. So would visiting the Everglades. However, the location that would be at the top of my list would definitely be Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. I have such fun memories of that place. I think it would be awesome to go back to see how much has changed since the last time I was there.

If I could hit the road – while visiting my blogging friends, and revisiting places I got to go to when I was kid – I would  love to include the many places in the States I have not been able to see yet. For some reason – probably because my favorite author writes so much about it – I want to go to Maine. I have always wanted to go to Ellis Island, and see the Statue of Liberty, so New York would definitely be one of my destinations. One place that I have really wanted to visit is Alaska. It seems like such a beautiful place, that I would love to take in that beauty in person.

Some of these dreams may come true, while others may not be possible. Either way it does not matter to me. It just feels nice to have good dreams running around in my head.

What is something good and/or exciting that you day dream about?
