If I Was Living The Life I Wanted To Right Now I Would Be.......

[Hope69]

I would be doing lots of travelling and taking photos. I would, of course, not care what happened in the past and wake up feeling peaceful and excited. I would learn to climb and do a long hike.
I would have many good friends and a sense of community.
I would spend lots of time with my kids and have enough money to spoil them by taking them to the spa and invite them on vacations.

So which goal are you going to aim for first? My favorite memories with family weren't the times I was spoiled (not that that happened much), but were the times I was just able to sit beside my grandpa on the couch and have him tell me family stories or times I sat beside my kids and read with them.

If a day at spa is what you really want to do, are there some coupons or online promotions you can get spa deals off of? I know as a single parent who has had to be creative to make ends meet, that sometimes deals can be made or found to help you obtain what you want.

If your kids are younger, making your own scrubs and bath salts might be as much fun as going to the spa.

What is making it hard to spend time with your kids, if I may ask?

OP can you clarify the direction of this thread?

I'm interpreting it to be a social type thing, not necessarily a serious "discussion"-----one where we dream of where we want to be right now. Is this interpretation correct? Thanks.

Not traumatize for starters.

Have a degree in computer forensics and working, at least, in a higher level of IT I am now that would pay twice as much if not more.

Have a nice house, a husband, 2.5 kids and a white picket fence.

Yes its a discussion, just imagining

Nothing is stopping me from spending time with my girls, its more about imaging how i will be :)

 

[Hope69]

Like @forgottensoul I would start with being "not traumatized" in my fantasy. That opens up all kinds of room for really taking in the good and energy for building a lifestyle that feels satisfying.

 

[Hope69]

I think these fantasies, the idea that they are attainable , is what motivates me to move forward.

@Hope thanks for opening this:

Mine not realistic, put I think thats not the purpose.

Living on an island. Cottage with a small garden. High walls protecting the house bacause you never know. I work in the garden, the sea just a few metres infront of me. I paint and and make statues.
I cook, friends come over and we have beach parties.

I would have a band - me being vocals. Spend a lot of time with my band for sports, just hanging out...I would write short stories and books - and meet with people from several countries to learn their languages better.

Homeless in sunny, shiny California.

As in I really need sun & I really need the sea & I really need a f*cking break from commitments. Also fresh air, literally and politically.

I would be working a self-sustaining farm in the middle of nowhere, just me, my dogs, my horses, my livestock, my crops, and a hubby...

I would of course also be teaching Martial Arts to the local community and playing Samurai re-enactments on the weekends for the community's entertainment...
