White Picket Fantasy

I have a fantasy about life. It even includes a white picket fence.


I came across this white picket fence the other day. It was just sitting in the middle of the park. I was drawn to it because of my white picket dreams. When I walked over to it, there was nothing inside the fence worth looking at. There are far more interesting things on the outside of this particular fence.

It made me wonder if I'm limiting my dreams by corraling them with a white picket fence fantasy. What if the most interesting things about my life are on the outside of that fantasy?

Not to say that the fantasy is bad. But maybe it's just that....a fantasy.

Not grounded in reality.

One interesting thing about this white picket fence is that it's portable. Maybe I can learn something from that.

That is a very astute observation...wow. Insightful. I think you may be onto something. Kind of like me, living in a magazine world rather than my reality. That's why God told me to "bloom where I'm planted". Maybe you need to bloom outside the picket fence? xoxo
