trying new things
We don't learn how to do things overnight. It doesn't happen instantly. It takes hard work and a lot of trial and error.
Sometimes I forget that.

fairy tale jobs
So right now I am in what they call "transition". I'm trying to simultaneously find a job and do something I love for the rest of my life.
If I had a chance to do whatever job I wanted to do...what would it be? Well, here it is in no particular order:
A photographer and writer for National Geographic. So many places in this world to visit, so many new and exciting cultures, so many experiences. Not only would I get to travel on somebody else's bill, but I would be able to share everything I saw and everything I was thinking with others.
An organic chicken farmer. I struggle with being a meat-eater almost daily and if I could have a farm and raise happy chickens, I would.
A sailor. Not like in the navy or anything, but sailing around the globe would be incredible.
A scientist who discovers the cure and answers for the following...the flu, the common cold, diabetes, AIDS, cancer in all forms, the formula to repair the ozone, the way to heal the earth, a fuel alternative to gas, drought resistant plants, world peace, economically viable ways to feed the earth, economically viable ways to solve the disparities between wealth in various countries, teaching people how to see eye to eye, heart transplants with 100% success rate, brain transplants!!!!
A motivational speaker. I want to be that person who sparks a fire into somebody else's soul.
A writer of both fiction (romance, mystery, thriller) and op-ed pieces.
A television hostess like Oprah, but obviously not Oprah and not with a show that follows the format of hers too closely.
A painter or artist of some sort.
A famous musician or a rock star!
A rancher.
A famous chef.
A dog whisperer. Or at least being able to run a doggy-day-care full of happy dogs that run around all day while their parents are at work.
A pilot.
A great thinker like Einstein or Aristotle.
A fashion designer.
A furniture designer.
An editor of a magazine.
A chocolatier.
A mastermind behind some sort of web based social media program.
A dancer.
Well, I guess we all have to dream about doing something at some time. There are pros and cons to every single job that we are required to do, and I have lived through many of them. I have worn so many hats during my life, that at this point, I honestly don't know what to do.
I had a great job once. I LOVED every single moment of it. Unfortunately, the powers that be didn't let me stay in that role. I can honestly say that it was one of the few times in my life where I was so pleased with what I was doing. For the longest time I thought it was so unfair that I wasn't able to keep the job that I loved and the job that I knew I was good at. I don't know, maybe I'm still upset now that I am still not doing that job. But I'll tell you this, having to take any job available so that I can pay the bills has taught me a valuable lessons beyond measure. I have always given my all to whatever job I have undertaken, and I still do.
I can take pride in that. No matter what my job is.

things I don't understand
1. How is it that liars, cheaters and fake people seem to get ahead in this world?
2. Why do people not understand the concept of staying in your own lane when there are two left/right turn lanes?
3. Why am I more tired when I come home from vacation when the whole purpose of vacationing is to come home feeling refreshed?
4. Why do couples with children feel like telling couples without children, "Just wait until you have children", when they don't know whether or not childless couples want kids or can even have kids?
5. How could you not understand that you can wear blue pants with whatever colour? It's a neutral!
6. How could a person not want to travel and experience the world?
7. How is it that dust in the house is comprised mostly of dead human skin? YUCK!
8. How can some people not appreciate the beauty of nature?
9. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Why don't bad things ever happen to bad people?
10. I will never understand how selfish people can be.

what do you want to come home to?
A sense of calm and serenity
peace
Warmth surrounding me like a heavy blanket
foggy
Love, hugs and kisses
wagging tails
The comfort of knowing that this place is yours. Entirely yours.
