Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
After nine refreshing hours of sleep ๐ด the previous night, a glorious morning would be thrusting aside the draperies letting the early morning sunlight stream through, and birds cheerfully chirping to welcome the new day. A light, leisurely breakfast of bagels ๐ฅฏ & cream cheese with a side of green grapes and a tall glass of freshly brewed black iced tea with lemon ๐ would also start this day right! I would be sitting on the terrace of a luxury condo looking out to the red rock ๐ชจ cliffs of Sedona or watching the waves ๐ crashing onto the shore from a quaint beach ๐๏ธ house ๐ก in San Clemente or San Juan Capistrano.
Of course, it should be a given that this ideal day would not involve anything so annoying or tedious as having to work! The next thing would be taking my sweet time carefully checking all emails from my gmail, hotmail, and yahoo accounts. Naturally, the cushions would be extra comfy while doing this. My next thing would be a long walk through the countryside or along the beach ๐๏ธ for at least an hour. Then, it would be time for a shower ๐ฟ a shave ๐ช, scrubbing my teeth, and picking out the clothes most suitable for the next part of the day. Then I would be spending at least an hour (if not two) working on my blog, finishing a previously started post or planning a new one.
I would also be reading ๐ the newest posts from my favorite ๐คฉ fellow bloggers and perhaps ๐ค commenting on those. All of the above would be occurring from 7:00 AM to about 9:30/10:00 AM. The next phase (from about 10:00 to 12:00/1:00 PM would be devoted to volunteer work with the Arizona Humane Society. Volunteers usually help with taking dogs outside to play in the secured courtyards, assisting with feedings or washing bedding, spending time with the cats who get lonely too. I would also assist with screening potential new pet owners so that shelter animals will hopefully be placed in a loving forever home ๐ก.
All of this activity would bring about a welcome nap ๐ค (around 1:30 or thereabouts) for about 35 minutes. This would be a refreshing start for the next phase of the day (and by the way, skipping lunch is not a problem). The next thing, Iโd mosey on down to my favorite ๐ neighborhood bar for a few cocktails ๐น and see if there would be anyone I felt like talking to, get a little socializing in. The conversation should be about fun ๐คฉ and uplifting topics as much as possible. Then, if not going home ๐ right afterwards โ Iโd be out to one of my favorite restaurants or try one Iโd never been to before.
An ideal day could also include (after the volunteer stint and a nap ๐ด๐) a visit to a museum or art ๐ผ๏ธ gallery which would give me another blog idea ๐ก. By around, say, 7:00 PM it would be time to settle down with a good book for an hour or so. From 8:00-10:30 PM Iโd be watching some engrossing documentary on PBS and/or an engrossing tv ๐บ series or movie ๐ฅ on Amazon Prime, MGM +, Paramount or one of my own dvds ๐. Around 10:30 at the latest it would be off to bed ๐ for pleasant dreams ๐ญ and a good ๐ nights sleep. โบ๏ธ
