I am reading a superb book just now called--"Living Out Loud" by Keri Smith. Loads of interesting things to do, to help the creative spirit.
One of these projects is titled--"How to create the life and career that we want".
The exercise involves answering questions from the book, as if you were already living your ideal life. I decided that my ideal place to live would be a lighthouse. I love the sea, but especially the wind, and the sound of the waves raging on the rocks. Just imagine the wonderful view 24 hours a day. The rolling clouds, the incoming mists and bad weather seen from a distance.
As it is an imaginary fantasy place only, I don´t have to worry about mundane things like heating the place, or shopping for food, or who delivers the paper etc..
I have collected many pictures of lighthouses, and a model or two, while visiting with Sara at the sea. Visited the library, and borrowed a couple of books on lighthouse living, and one written by lighthouse enthusiasts. Now I anticipate following up by answering all the questions in the book, as if I was living there. It is a really good project. I recommend it,and the book if you haven´t seen it.
Meanwhile also trying to find time to sew my nieces expected baby`s (April) cot quilt, a cot blanket, and a couple of rag dolls perhaps? Unfortunately I will never reach my talented sisters modus operandi!!
Oh well!--- off to sew, and plan, and dream, and write, and read. Wish I could do all these things at once!! Lynne.

That sounds like an interesting exercise. I think I'd like to live in a luxurious flat right at the top of a tall building.
I would love to live in a lighthouse too!
OOOHH just think - so exciting!
