In a perfect world

He asked me what I would like to do from nine to five in a perfect world.

I say . . .

Wake up when I want.

Have my coffee in a garden with roses.  Plant some petunias and then sit in a shady spot to read, write or draw.

To have someone who loves me find me there and be content to talk to me for however long I want.

To not have to worry about money for bills.

To know that money will come from … a painting that I sold because I was happy with the outcome, and not embarrassed and unsure and insecure, from a book that I wrote and could relax knowing that readers will be able to relate to and enjoy. Or from art classes where I help women find contentment and kids have fun.

At times I almost wish I could be “institutionalised” to be in a place where there is no pressure, no deadlines, no deliverables, no commitments. I think sometimes I wouldn’t mind being put away and chemically numbed …it would be a welcome break from … from all the things that cause me pain and anxiety.
