Story of My Life initiated Blogtember with a month’s worth of weekday post
prompts and a daily link up. I’m jumping in a day late, so I’ll catch up this
weekend. These prompts are creative, simple, and most importantly, inspiring!
Check them out and join in when you like.
Today’s
prompt: If you
could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the
world, what would you do?
The idea
of having three whole months to just do whatever my heart desired is such an
intoxicatingly tempting thought. This thought has entered my mind a few times
and depending on my mood I have two rather different inclinations. Part of me
would love to have the time off from obligations to be able to enjoy the things
I already have/do. I am talking about three months of leisurely morning
coffees, working out every day, dancing, doing one deep cleaning task a day,
re-decorating, and getting everything in order so that when the return to
responsibilities comes I am in a good spot. The other part of me wants to
escape myself and do all the things that I have thought about, but just have
never tried. This side of me desires to pack a small bag of the absolute
essentials, hop on a jet plan, tour the world, and try new things along the
way. The second
scenario is a bit more exciting to dream about (probably because I know that
the first is an obtainable goal with a lot of good hard work and some
adaptions, such as not shunning all responsibilities…darn).
Seeing that it is
Wednesday and I am actually writing a post, I cannot forsake dear Hallie and
not join in on Five Favorites. So the two shall become one this week and my
Five Favorites will highlight my top five destinations on my three month
vacation. Enjoy reading this happy little union.

Spain
Barcelona, Spain
Carrer
de Mallorca, 401, 08013 Barcelona, Spain
Ever
since a friend showed me pictures of his visit to the Sagrada Familia, I have
wanted to see it. Designed by Antoni Gaudi, this unfinished Basilica has several facades, each with their own style depicting the different stages of the life of Christ. Everything about it is fascinating: the architecture, the
artwork, the unfinished status, the story of its development and long
construction process, etc. I would love to see it in person one day.

India
The colors, sounds, and smells of India are so enticing to
me. There is a sense of mystery about India to me that I want to go and
discover.

Italy
I have been blessed to visit Italy twice and my world tour
would not be complete without it. There is just something about it that I feel
so very at home, despite being oversees. I have never been to any of the
islands, so I think the first place I would visit would be Venice.

Austria
The green grass, fields, mountains, valleys, and quaint towns
that I have seen in pictures of Austria are beautiful. The Sound of Music Tour
also is a perk.

Alaska
My grandparents toured Alaska years ago and ever since have
been telling us that it is something we all must experience. The grandeur and
the beauty of my own home country is something that I would not want to miss on
my visit.

Where would you go if nothing was holding you back?
Happy Wednesday!
I've been to Austria, and it is lovely. I've never lived in a state with mountains, but it was just so thrilling to look up in an ordinary parking lot and think "Climb Ev'ry Mountain."
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fantastic! I think I would have been humming the soundtrack non-stop if I were there!
