Oh this is such a wonderful thread to read,... thanks to you Johnny!
My perfect day would be spent in a deep forest of Northern Ontario paddling in an old wooden canoe through marshes of tall reeds and crystal waters. I'd love to be with my boyfriend and my dog (who is suddenly transformed into a passive cuddly pooch
unafraid of canoes and so happy & relaxed that he doesn't bark like the maniacal child he normally is) breathing the clean air, and seeing a rare sight of young deer at the river's edge.
Finding a perfect spot beside a small waterfall, we'd sit on the rocks with cool water splashing over our feet, listening to the breeze through tall aspens. I imagine a peaceful hour or two spent painting an
almost perfect watercolour of this scene, as my two best buddies played.
Then we think we hear.. laughter? Off my dog scoots to investigate and we follow him down a trail which leads out to a sunny clearing by a deep kettle lake. And here is EVERYONE on earth (and beyond) that I know and
love gathered at a huge picnic!
My Mom (in perfect health) is there with my whole family, all of my friends, Kicker's I've met, and the
many I hope to meet one day (even the farthest away in Oz
.) My Dad plays old folks songs on his guitar and we have a big sing-a-long around a campfire.
The night would end with just the two of us watching the magic of the Northern lights, and falling asleep together in one big warm sleeping bag on a bed of soft moss, with
at our feet. Yep, if you're gonna dream ~ dream BIG!
And to Mr & Mrs Cheerful ~ may your deepest desires come true. I couldn't hold back my tears even if I tried, after reading your words.
