daydream ( ) n. A dreamlike musing or fantasy while awake, especially of the fulfillment of wishes or hopes.
I'm in a rather dreamy mood today for some reason. Perhaps the sun's long awaited appearance has inspired me, or maybe its the fact that its Friday and I'm craving weekend relaxation.
Either way, I'm rather aloof today--only in thought--I'm totally devoted to my work :)
You see, I looked at the Anthropologie April catalog last night and now I'm dreaming of bare feet, new sandals, brightly colored dresses, patterned dishes, and sun kissed skin. I always tell Jeff that living in Anthropologie is my ultimate fantasy.
I'm also reflecting on the summer of 2007. That was an interesting and good time for me. Jeff was away in Miami (we got engaged when I visited that summer). I was such a free bird. Don't get me wrong, I missed Jeff terribly and was very much in love with him, but there was just something about that summer.
I was running a lot and doing a lot of yoga. I worked at Color Me Mine occasionally, but hardly at all. I was tan. Meg and I did the yoga teacher training course. And I remember dreaming a lot like I am today.
I was excited for the future and thoroughly enjoying the present. That's how I feel now. I'm once again running a lot and doing yoga--though not as much as I'd like. Summer is fast approaching. And though I will not be bumming around like I did in '07, its going to be a good one.
I love when I have moments that remind me of the past. I more fully discovered who I was that summer. My life is very different now, but I'm still me. In fact I'm even more me.
I feel like that summer was a big one for me also, and the year before, completely on my own. It's nice to feel like you really know who you are and where you're headed. I loved their new dishes! Makes me want some now.
ReplyDeletePoor Hobbs. At least it will be a fun memory and a good reason to get to the groomer:)
