Every time I drive to the school, I pass by a "for sale" sign for this house on the creek. Doc took me there on a bike ride a while back, and we poked around the property and fantasized about actually living on the creek. (!)
I'm afraid that I can't seem to get enough of the creek. I roll my window down and pause to listen every time I can while crossing it. I stop to breathe and listen and just be whenever I walk or bike past it. And this home and property is surrounded by my beloved creek. Plus there are fruit trees and little nooky spots to enjoy a book outside. I've only peeked in windows and looked at the pictures on Zillo of the inside, but it has a nice modern style that I really like. And it's situated in a way that we'd never have to deal with the likes of this again.
I may never have a dream home, but I still think it's good advice to have dreams, including BIG DREAMS. Fantasies, even! I went too long without having any dreams, because there really didn't seem to be any point. But I think the point isn't whether or not they come true. Dreaming has a way of igniting a spark inside us. I'm trying to fuel that spark in my life now. It was dormant far too long.
What are your big dreams?
Grateful for:
1) Bunch practicing her music of her own volition
2) 80 degree blue-sky days in September
3) A future where anything is possible!

We have a creek in our backyard (but not the big house to go with it!) and I love to listen to the water moving.
What a gorgeous house - inside and out. Your dreams have amazing taste!
That house is gorgeous!
I dream of being able to write a book. And of getting a minivan that isn't ghetto. And of running a PR marathon. And of being as good a friend as you are.
wow, the value of that place has really tanked. start saving!
Dreams are positively glorious, and I'm glad to hear you are dreaming big again. Like you, I have places that heal and enliven my soul. Loved the post.
I think it's great to DREAM BIG! I my big dream I own a quilt shop and create the most incredible quilts, sewn in precise accuracy and still have enough time to fix dinner, do laundry and fix my hair!!!
