Daydream Believer

I could hide ‘neath the wings

Imagine not worrying about the alarm going off… and the day beginning.
I attended a webinar the other night and the lady who was running it asked us a question. “What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning”? The answers from those of us in attendance were many and varied. Mine wasn’t very complimentary lol
However, I digress.
I go off on tangents sometimes.

Did I ever tell you about the time that the Garden Gnome and myself were out on the road and travelling? We had spent the day following our instincts and driving up gravelled roads and following signs for things we had no idea about. We were off the beaten track and loving every minute.

I had taken that many photos I was surprised the camera’s memory card wasn’t full and the Garden Gnome never tired of me asking him to stop so I could snap off a shot of something I had spotted from my seat in the passenger side of the car.

The day was drawing to a close and we were looking for somewhere to stay the night when I spotted this gorgeous little caravan park off to the left. It had overnight vans and cabins still available. We checked in and took our key and then drove slowly through the park to our cabin.
Arriving at the cabin we found it surrounded by trees and looking out onto the ocean. Pelicans bobbed in the water and some were up on the beach where the park visitors were feeding them.
The Garden Gnome paused from unloading the car and comes over to join me.

I sighed with bliss, contentment and happiness….

You mean I never told you? Sorry about that.
That’s probably because it is just a daydream.
Funnily enough, the Garden Gnome just came in to talk to me whilst I was writing this and I read him some of what I wrote. He said “So we aren’t towing our own van? Okay, that’s probably best because otherwise we’d need an off-road van. I like this daydream.”

Wow. It’s great to dream. It’s even better to have someone who shares the same dream.

So why am I sharing a daydream with you?
That would be because the gorgeous Jolene at Joeyfullystated nominated me for the Daydreamer Award. And I wish to thank her because that was such a wonderful daydream to spend time with.
