daydream
 Fantasy or daydreams
I woke this morning wondering what is the difference between fantasy and daydreams. Before getting up I decided. For today, daydreams are thoughts and wishes that one could possibly make happen. Come true.

And a Fantasy is a place in your heart, mind and soul where you can go and escape stuff or just hold onto for pleasure. 

While in San Miguel, I had a conversation with Judy Wise about her Artist In Residence excursion that she took last year in Spain. Can Serrat is located in a rustic farmhouse outside of Barcelona and Judy wrote several blog post about it but I wanted more one-on-one with Judy.

In short, she made it sound like an amazing adventure. She made it sound very doable as if I could possibly make it happen. I couldn't stop daydreaming about it.

Even after returning from San Miguel, I kept thinking about making it happen. Which led me to tell my friend about it in an email. I told her how brave, bold, scary, fun, and challenging it sounded. Then I told her if my DH would go with me, I would do it.

She  challenged me about why on that specific trip did I need my DH to go along. I gave her some very good and sound reasons but the best one was that DH and I always wanted to return someday.  We were there at least 35 years ago. How could I go without him now? I couldn't because I knew without a doubt that he is not, would not, never ever go on such a trip with me.

Well, well, well, it became very clear that I had very ingeniously arranged this daydream in my mind in such a way that I could never make it happen.

It wasn't a daydream. It was a fantasy.

To be continued........

  1. I have a chair in my studio painted with these words: "Sustain the fantasy".

    So I'm going to sustain yours by assuming you're going on your artist residency at Can Serrat. I'm just assuming over here ...
