A Perfect Day...



So, lately I have been contemplating what a perfect day would be for me.  I keep rolling it over in my mind, and the more I think about it the bigger the question seems to be.  I am not trying to figure out a perfect day off, or a perfect date, or a perfect day with the family... just a perfect average day in the life.  I am trying to fill in the blanks on what I want to do EVERY day.  I am trying to figure out the ages old, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" question.

I know I want to get up slowly, with coffee and my garden.  I want to hit the gym, no really, I do, I enjoy the energy it gives me.  I want to shower and dress in something fun, because I looooove clothes (or I am vain, or maybe a bit of both).  Then I want to work, but that's where it breaks down... Work on what?

I want to make things, beautiful things, whatever I feel like, but in a beautiful studio setting.  A barn or a cabin or a hill with a view, maybe even my garden shed... I don't know.  AND I want to be able to make money at this, which is where it gets really complicated.  So, I stop thinking about it and go on with my actual day, which is NOT perfect (at least not yet).
