all i want in Life
a place on the ocean with windows so big the outside feels in
walls covered with reminders of places i’ve been and people i love
a trusted furry friend of the canine variety
my own personal library always with room for more books and a comfy spot to read, preferably by the window overlooking that ocean
more days with rain than without
good food and wine… and afternoon tea/coffee time
every night, my down comforter
never to feel rushed… or accused
a big wood fireplace
to see my children live, fully, well, and beyond me
never to grow tired (or run out of) Legos
to always be as in love with the Love of my life as i have been, and more
the movies
to visit Alaska, New Zealand, Greece, New England in Autumn, Japan
to re-visit London, Scotland, Italy, New York. and my mother’s-land of Denmark, often
empathy— for others, from others
courage and strength to carry on
graceful aging
words, the will to write them, the inspiration to make them worth reading
slow mornings and late nights
continual education
a car i love to drive
authenticity
a good (comfortable) wardrobe
forever to be free
good loud music
to feel like the best version of myself
significance over success
