Alexys from Unraveling the Spiritual Mystique has tagged me to write about 5 things I dreamt about as a child. I never really had big dreams as a young child. I started to desire and have aspirations in my late teens. I couldn’t come up with 5, I could only remember 4. (Hope that’s ok) It is funny how none of them have come true; oh well such is life.

When I grow up I want to:

1. I want to go on an African Safari. I still have not done this due to a few small factors.

a. I absolutely do not like to fly and boy would that be a lllooonnnggg flight. There are not enough sleeping pills or alcohol.
b. I would NEVER go alone and I have no extra funds to go with my husband.
c. I am afraid I may be eaten and all that would be left of me would be my right foot sticking out of the lion’s mouth.

2. I have always wanted a happy and healthy life above and beyond anything else. Overall it has been a good life, but…..

a. I definitely have had my fair share of emotional roller coasters.
b. I guess I am still considered young; however there are those times I feel like I am 90 years old.

3. I have always wanted to work in a hospice. Did I? No. Why?

a. I am now and always have been afraid of germs. Call me a freak but it is true.
b. I know I would probably get too attached and have my heart broken over and over again.

4. I think my biggest aspirations was/is opening my own meditation center. I have always wanted to own and operate my very own castle of peace, love, and balance.

a. I never did nor will I ever have the amount of money it would cost to run the establishment.
b. I meditate, but unconventionally. I do it more on an as need basis, or when the mood strikes. I would not want to meditate every day, or when I didn’t feel it, so I would have to hire people to do classes.

I have to say, out of all my dreams, not having the meditation center is my biggest disappointment, but I believe all things happen for a reason. Some people who follow the Law of Attraction would probably say it didn’t happen because I didn’t believe it could happen. In my opinion that is not true. I had a few strong years of truly believing it could happen, even if it took winning the lotto to fund it so….. I guess it just wasn’t in my blue prints.

There you have it, my childhood dreams. :)
