"After" dreams and goals.
Posted: April 9th, 2020, 6:30 pm
If I live through this COVID, which seems like it will be endless, that will be a great outcome, and I'd trade all the following for that.
While I am enormously fortunate to be of sound mind and body right now, and secure in food, housing, and utilities, I don't have any of the following right now. Can I afford to dream during a quarantine?
After all this is over, I hope to be able to post here that I've accomplished the following, however unlikely or distant (okay, impossible) they seem now.
If I can dream:
1. Watch the US Men's Soccer team in the World Cup in 1.5 years at my own home.
2. Go on a date with a beautiful woman at a coffee shop, where neither going on a date or leisurely spending time in a coffee shop is remarkable.
3. Drive to work in a car I own.
4. Dance. While I’m not good at the technical aspects (beats, “proper” form), I can really lead at East Coast (jitterbug), and the very sexy cousin, blues dancing. I was active in graduate school. I want to get back into it, this year.
Feel free to add your own.
