Life of my dreams

Recently, Sweety wrote about her dream life, and it hit me like: I’ve never really thought about mine! Honestly, cities just don’t cut it for me anymore. After dutifully playing referee in my kids’ epic sibling battles, . I would be craving some peace and quiet. As I get older, tranquility has become my new best friend. I’m all about that “I can hear the thoughts in my head” kind of silence. Guess when the kids eventually spread their wings and fly away, I hope this dream kicks in.

So here’s the dream: I want to spend my golden years in a small town where the biggest drama is choosing between ginger and masala chai. Picture this: I run a cozy little café where the only complaints are about the coffee being too strong. I’d serve up a delightful array of teas and filter coffee, while also showering unconditional love on abandoned furry friends who need it. We’d dish out food, provide basic health care (or at least a good belly rub), and spread joy one wagging tail at a time. My dog, Cookie, has taught me that our four-legged pals give love like nobody else.

This café isn’t about making a fortune; it’s more about keeping myself busy, avoiding Netflix binges, and steering clear of becoming a full-time couch potato. And I can totally see Sweety joining me in this small town. Together, we’d motivate each other to stay active and fit—after all, who doesn’t want a hangout buddy sharing and cocreating the vibe? We’d watch the sunrise and sunset, holding hands, sharing laughs, and caring for each other. It’ll be a fun little chemistry test to see if our dream relationship holds up in real life! Letting Sweety handle the cash counter, I would love to man the kitchen serving tea and basic essentials. I would love to watch Sweety as she sets up the decor of the cafe, kitchen garden, and art room. I don't mind a small art exhibition next to our Chai cafe.

So, if you ever find yourself in a sleepy little town, inhaling the fragrant blend of ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon tea, with the joyful sounds of happy barks in the background, you’ll know I’m living the dream—complete with my furry entourage!

As I share my dream, I can't help but wonder if I've been living it all along. My seamless connection with Sweety is the universe's way of making my wildest dreams a reality.
