My Fantasy Day:
Starts
with no alarm. I wake naturally after a comfortable and restful sleep.
My
first cup of tea awaits. Perfect temperature and strength.
Am
I dressed yet? Hmmm. That depends. Or Maybe, maybe not. When I do dress, my
clothes fit well and are comfortable and attractive.
First thing? I write out at least 10 things for
which I’m grateful.
My
house is clean, organized. Food is healthy, prepared and ready for me to dish
up or maybe heat up in the microwave if it is better hot.

My
houseplants are healthy, green and vibrant with life. The ones that flower do
so with abandon.

Television? Inspiring, uplifting,
funny with a touch of educational content is readily available on the channels
I watch.
Commercials? Yes, in my fantasy day, I see a few commercials, but they are fun, uplifting, creative and add entertainment to my day.

Reading? Choices, choices, choices abound. Just the right blend of
humor, heat and history or maybe the story is contemporary, thoughtful and I
learn something about people or myself through the skilled portrayal of
characters.
Did
I mention there are never dirty dishes or pots and pans for me to wash? Nor do
I have to load or unload the dishwasher or do laundry.
Okay,
I do get up and fix something cold to drink after I’ve had my tea.
I’ve
time to write, walk, talk with friends and enjoy my space both inside and out.
My home is my haven, my cocoon where I dream about people who metamorphose into
my characters.
At
the end of the day before snuggling down to sleep, I hold my Gratitude Rock and
recount all that I’m grateful for, everyone and everything that graced my day.
How
would your Fantasy Day start and end?
Although
my first love is writing Contemporary Romance or Romantic Women’s Fiction, I’ve also ventured into writing non-fiction. My
first book, Staying Sane in a Crazy
World is available at your favorite e-retailer.
Do
you ever feel as if the world around you is tumbling out of control and there
is nothing you can do to make your world a better place?
Do
you ever wish there was?
Staying
Sane in a Crazy World may help guide you toward stopping the tumbling and
choosing how to take effective control of your life.
The
reality is there is no One answer that fits all but we each have Our answer.
In
this short guide, Judith Ashley leads you through a straight-forward process
that allows you to find Your answers. Answers you’ll use to craft a Personal Staying Sane Plan that will
help you regain and keep your balance whenever the world around you is
out-of-whack.

My perfect day is to wake up feeling excited and energized about the coming day.To feed my kitty and say a prayer of thanks. To chat online with my sister or my friend and write for an hour or two. To play with our dogs. To work on a project with my husband and make progress. To pause for an afternoon prayer that reminds me of my purpose in life. To get a few chores done. To swim laps at the city pool or take the dogs for a walk in the woods. To water the flowers and enjoy their beauty. To pause frequently throughout the day and breathe deeply, ground myself in my surroundings and relax any tension in my body. To find a way to be of service to others. To give long hugs and be grateful for the good things in my life. To relax watching a fun tv show or reading in the evening. To pray, practice gratitude, and fall into a peaceful sleep.
Thank you for reminding me how much the kind of day I have is up to me!
I love your perfect day, Sarah. And, I think you are closer to living that perfect day now than you may have been in the past. Good for you!
