Describe your ideal week. – Now there is a question for a Monday morning.
My mind wandered into the realm of what ifs, when thinking about an ideal week. But I’ll keep it reality based so it’s possible that this week is an ideal week.
Waking each morning healthy next to my better half, who is also healthy and happy, would be a nice start. Sharing breakfast together and planning day trips and time with the children and friends.
During the weekdays we hit small towns or a city like the Nation’s Capital and discover new places to eat. I photograph like I have endless time to process all the images. I paint and draw some. I carve and blog.
I share warm embraces with family and stories around the firepit. I raise a little hell with my best friends.
Spend a few hours with each grandchild.
Some romantic dinners/evenings with my better half.
Get some exercise.
I put the top down and absorb the sun on a day trip to the beach.
Take the time to help someone or do something for a stranger or maybe share some kind words.
Reach out to friends I don’t see often enough and chat.
Spend a few minutes in the hammock looking at the sky. Skip cutting the grass.
And if I still owned a motorcycle. I’d be heading to Bike Week in Ocean City MD this weekend.
