Wanting

Are you prepared to chase your dreams? Must you have a dream to chase? These questions can make a person go crazy. Luckily there is another option.

As much as I tell myself not to lay all my eggs in one basket (note: this is not a good thing to tell yourself if you aren’t actually a chicken), I can’t help focusing a large chunk of my time and energy on the things that I want. Not possessions, but big life things. Like a certain job, a certain person, a certain laptop (actually just one with internet that works would really be great). So today I take a stand. In this moment I vow to focus my valuable time, my valuable energy on enjoying the adventure.

It’s easy if you try. Thanks for the lyrics, John.

Are you enjoying your day?  Maybe not? Well, there’s still a few hours left. What about a lovely glass of wine? Call that friend who always makes you smile. Play that song really loud. Scream when no one’s listening. Tell your mum you love her. Make some sangria. Eat the last piece of chocolate. Look at awesome photos from your last trip. Or maybe write a blog post that you know someone out there will (hopefully) like.

Try to enjoy the ride. Because you never know when those strawberries are going to come back to hurt you.
