almost that time
This almost-too-amazing-to-be-real shot is from the streets of Tokyo, in the Nakameguro district, and the Sakura (cherry blossom) trees are in full bloom. Although I don’t have a plane ticket to Tokyo in my hand, I luckily do live 1.5 blocks away from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden where the cherry blossoms are starting to gear up and will be hitting their stride starting next week. Somehow last year I neglected to actually get into the Gardens themselves to witness the insanity, but this year it’s number 1 with a bullet on my list of must do’s in April.
1. See the Cherry Blossoms in Botanic Garden
2. Get a job.
At least I’ve got my priorities straight!

I really, really want a tropical, sunshine-y, beach-y, swim-filled vacation. Now, please.

Fine, I’ll admit it. I am reading The 4-Hour Workweek. I like the idea of automating income and taking mini-retirements throughout my life, what can I say? Doesn’t sound too sucky at all.
One of main things the book teaches you (well, so far–just started reading it yesterday) is to think big–outlandishly, even–in terms of your goals and the things you want to experience in life. Like how there is less competition for the big stuff, because people assume they can’t do it/have it, and lower their expectations to the same level as everyone else–leaving fewer to battle it out at the high end. Anyhow, it suggests you make a 6 month timeline and include as many far reaching experiential goals you can, then narrow it down to about 4, then actually price out those 4, and then write down the 1st steps to accomplishing each one of those 4, and do it TODAY.
I got to brain-storming and I realized that I have been talking about going to Greece for the past, oh, 10 years and still haven’t managed to do it. I have been LOTS of other places in the world, but have avoided this one for some particular reason. I can’t tell if my expectations are too high for it, or I have some weird anxiety surrounding my heritage background, and my complete lack of speaking the language at all, or SOMETHING. Who knows? All I know is that I want this to happen, and I want it to happen soon. Now I just need to figure out how.
What would you do if you felt you had no restrictions on your life? Where would you go?
