Hi everyone
I’m tired
today and when I’m tired I like to think about things I’m looking forward to in
the future.
Here’s a
list of things I look forward to being able to do, one day ….. one day ….. one
day:
· Rising everyday naturally without an
alarm
· Road tripping on a whim
· Learning French polishing
· Having a long quiet morning routine
in the garden before breakfast
· Taking a leisurely daily homemade breakfast
either on the front or back patio
· Only having to look at emails once a
day (in the same way as I deal with daily snail mail)
· Cooking, washing, housekeeping for
only two people
· Doing the weekend on any day of the
week
· Volunteering during the day
· Finding a secret picnic spot for Mrs
and I
· Getting eye laser surgery (eeeep!)
· Not being bound by hours and minutes
· Reading till day break
· Gardening in the moonlight
· Toast, tea & a chat at midnight
· Writing my grimoire of life
learnings, formulas, concepts and paradigm shifts (Dad’s book)
· Having house guests at any time for
any reason
· Working with zero correlation to money
· Spending time in the workshop on
projects whenever I like
· Sharing work shed space with Mrs (we have
this idea of dividing up the work shed with his/her sides with a potbelly stove
and old armchairs in the middle)
· Converting my office room into a library/study
· Finishing the vegetable garden area
and planting fruit trees
· Finding a secret camping spot for
Mrs and I
· Doing a final big cull of ‘stuff’
· Becoming a qualified financial counsellor
But hey, it’s
best I don’t wish my life away too quick!
Take care
and stay nice
I like a lot of those items on your one day list...some of them are definitely on mine too!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed I'll be able to start in earnest with many of them in about 3 years once I have reached my F.I. number
DeleteLove your list...I learnt French Polishing about 30 years ago when you could do an adult evening course at TAFE for $5 for the 8 week course...my sister also did it after me back then. You could also leave your big piece of furniture there for the 8 weeks.
ReplyDeleteGee - I don't think TAFE in my area offer that service. My mum did French polishing and I've always loved it.
DeleteTry and start doing something now Phil, don’t leave it all for the future. X
ReplyDeleteI'm running out of hours in the day whilst I'm still working - but yes, you're right of course.
DeleteDon't wish your life away Phil! I haven't used an alarm in years. My body is used to the 5am rises and I do that 7 days a week. I take my four legged friend for a leisurely 5 km walk and then enjoy my coffee on the Patio overlooking my beautiful garden before starting work at 6.30am. Just start doing some of these things!
ReplyDeleteYou are right Francesca - I'll have to re-prioritize so I can live in the moment more.
