Cardamom Tango

I've been a skeptic for quite awhile now.  As a child, my head was always in the clouds, but as I grew up the world taught me, as it does too many, to ignore those dreams.  Also, I wanted to be Dana Scully.

And now I find out that actually, I need to daydream, and to believe that I can have those things I want.  It's crazy to think about now, but a lot of the things I want most and thought I could not have, are things that are very attainable.  For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to learn to make clothes, to grow a vegetable garden, and, um, section hike the Appalachian Trail.  The Exotic Foreigner and I have dreamed together about sailing long distances, and even living in a small house on a remote beach.

Some of these things will be accomplished soon, and others will be in another era of my life, and still others may not come to pass.  However, allowing myself to daydream even of things that may never happen can lead to ideas for things that can happen.  It helps me map my future and gives me goals to work toward.
