Idealic Daze

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

My most ideal day would start with me waking up in my own bed, in my own home. I would wake up early and shower. I would smell coffee being made as I stepped out.

I would settle back in bed, hot coffee in hand.

My day would unfold at a slow pace. I would write, meditate, go to yoga, work on my latest art, meet my friends to walk on the beach. Do some shopping…

Or

I would be doing exactly what I’ve been doing today. which is much of the same, only here at my son’s house, hanging with his sweet wife and baby.

This morning I sat with toddler in lap, reformatting Peaceful Heart (again). My son wants to apply his tech skill to trying something else. In my TikTok research, I discovered funny cat videos that sent our toddler into fits of laughter. She’s never been allowed ‘screen time’ before, so she was captivated and quite still while she did ‘market research’. Peals of laughter, while my son worked at his remote job, and I reformatted. Momma cleaned out her spice drawer. It was a productive twenty minutes for sure! And fun.

Most of my days are pretty idealic lately. I got the reformatted square book ready to upload to KDP. It’s hopefully the correct size and shape to be a accepted as a physical hard copy of a bound book available on Amazon. I guess we will see.

Yesterday we decided to try to make a faceless TikTok video (it’s a shame we don’t have any funny cats because I think laughter is a great way to regulate and some of those cats ARE hilarious!)

We are running out of days. We don’t have a tripod. Working around nap time is tricky. A mouse ruined our one paint set (yeah, that happened) but at least the idea is helping me warm to the idea of making a video…

So you can see that ideal days, mine anyway, can be born out of any day. Soon we will pile into the car and head south to hang with the cousins. I know I will have some more ideal days there as well.

Then there will be more aunties and uncles meeting up at Disney. I’m not expecting that day to be an ideal day for me, I’m certain it will be for a handful of others, but you never know. I won’t rule it out!

My ideal day would end with me asleep in a warm bed after a delicious meal with any or all of my favorite people. Maybe after a movie, maybe after a little toddler snuggle. How could a day get more ideal than that?!
