My Dream!

I have a dream! Nothing as lofty as peace on earth or equality for all men (and women!), but a dream none-the-less. I dream of being so fiscally sound that I can afford to leave it all behind and travel around the country. Not permanently. Maybe a year or two and then we will buy a farm.

It is a fun dream - one that can involve endless planning as well as the hard work of becoming fiscally sound. I confess - I care a lot less about whether I achieve the dream as I do about whether or not I can dream it. Besides, I want to spend at least 10 years at my current job, and I've only been there a little over 2 and 1/2 years. So I have lots of time. Why am I even talking about it? Good question.

You see, I get stressed. And when I get too stressed I send my brain for a vacation. A very short vacation. But when I don't actually have to think about what I'm working on at that moment, my brain gets to think about other things. Like what I need to do at home to have a clean house. and when that is too stressful (and it has been many a day), my brain goes off into think about things I do not want it thinking about (bad, bad brain!). So this dream is one I can have endless fun thinking about, without having to worry about actually doing anything about it yet.

Well, almost anything. You see, part of my dream is to be fit enough that if we want to walk or hike or bike around the country, we can. (Of course, I'm taking my husband along!) So I want to get fit. And what more fun way to get fit than to take a virtual journey! I am going to be starting a new blog for my virtual journey. I'm really just sort of introducing it here. If anyone has any place in North America you can suggest I should add to my trip, please post a comment. It's all fair game on a virtual tour.
