I seem to be spending a lot of time at the moment imaging a better life. One where I don't have to work quite so much, and can happily spend more time writing words and music and music with words.
But every now and again I'm reminded of how good my life is. Right here. Right now.
And it's worth remembering that - probably more often than I do. So many aspects of my life are perfect, or close to. My family. Our community. Our new puppy. My job. My colleagues. My friends.
Sure, I wish I didn't have to work five days a week to pay off our mortgage. I wish my band-mates lived much (much) closer to Brisbane than they do, and that we could actually perform every now and again. And I wish our new puppy didn't have such a talent for finding and chewing Ms 9's favourite toys.
Among other things.
But you know what? On balance, my life is pretty good.
And it is certainly worth remembering that, every now and again, as I dream of what could be.
I hope your life is pretty good too.
