Good morning friends,

I am a hopeless dreamer and planner. I thrive on looking into the future and dreaming what it will look like. I have been this way since childhood and it has gotten me into a few pickles. But I am always dreaming and planning for what my future self will be doing. But I do from time to time look to what I’ve been through and then that shapes my plans.

While I love to day dream and envision a life of simplicity out in the country in a small cabin with a wood cook stove, oil lamps, solar powered appliances and a composting toilet. I live in a pretty modern world. I am currently connected to the grid for power to run my lights, internet and coffee grinder. We are working on becoming less dependent on that and relying on the solar and generator. Our tiny home has running water as long as we haul water to fill the tank. We mainly use the outhouse on the property for the bathroom. I don’t think any of us enjoy emptying the septic tank.

So without falling into the poor me of the past with it’s trials and tests. I use the experiences to shape my plans for the future I’m dreaming of. Each day we do something more to get us to our goal. So which one are you? Hopeless dreamer or stuck in the past?
