Do You Ever...?

Do you ever dream of running away to somewhere where no one can find you. No phones. No crime. No neighbors. No extended family. Just you and your immediate family and nature. You'd build a cabin from local trees harvested on your own land and cut down with your own hands. Grow your own food and hunt for your own meat. Live a fairly self-sufficient lifestyle. You'd never have to talk to someone you didn't want to talk to. You wouldn't have to worry about a neighbor's dog barking all night long. You could leave your door unlocked and windows open. You wouldn't have to put a railing on your deck or a fence around your pool unless you wanted to.

I dream of this daily.

Do you ever dream of cleaning your floors once and having them stay that way?

I dream of this daily.

Do you ever dream of planting your gardens and never weeding them. Never picking off bugs or dusting for  pests? Never worrying about watering them and knowing they will produce perfectly tasting and looking fruit.

I dream of this daily.

Do you ever dream of telling your child something once and never needing to tell them again? Better yet, never needing to tell the next child and the next the same thing. And never having to answer to the name, Mom, again. Never have the question, "What's for dinner?" asked.

I dream of this daily.

Do you ever dream of being in the mood for your husband every time he asks? Having the energy to flirt and the body you "once had". Having muscles that don't ache when you do the most mundane of tasks. Never making that moaning sound when you get up from the floor.

I dream of this daily.

My conclusion after a day of these dreams?

I dream too much.
