A Perfect Fantasy Day for me. 2020

 

 

I wake up in a friend’s babbling brookside cabin in North Georgia with my wife and visiting daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Waffles, fruit compote and whipped cream are on the menu. After breakfast is playtime with my 2-year-old grandson. After play, I go for a walk, where I meet a variety of people to share some of my good ideas and well-intentioned advice: It’s great to feel appreciated.

Back at the cabin for lunch, my son-in-law is grilling the trout he caught in the brook. After lunch I go for a canoe ride with my wife on the nearby lake. Then, I return for a nap on the porch, with a soft breeze.

For dinner, dear friends come to take us to a local BBQ shack. It’s my birthday, after all! Later, I lead my house warming  ceremony at our friends’ new cabin and we play some Rummy Kub game.

Then it’s time to eat my cherry a la mode birthday pie, share fond memories, and read a book to my grandson. I’m sleepy. It’s time for bed and cuddling under the comforter with my wife. Good night on a perfect day.

What would be a perfect day for you?
You can do a long and VERY detailed version of this by imagining everything you might see, hear and smell every few seconds, as a novelist might due.

I led my wife on an imaginary fantasy day while we laid in bed on the morning of her recent birthday.

Her story was full of celebrities, dear friends, luxury travel to the Boston seaport for lobster and more. 
“What happened there? And what happened next?” What were you wearing? What did the dock side restaurant look like?
Who was the limousine driver who took us to the airport? What kind of flowers were in the box with the credit card for the trip?
Which of your fantasy celebrities was the desk clerk at the B & B?  Get micro detailed, it’s a fantasy birthday after all.


I guarantee a great time doing this.
