While shopping one day I saw a journal titled Dream Big and I knew I needed to buy it. Dreaming Big is something I always want to do.

I got my Dream Big journal and sat down to write about my dreams when I discovered something. How can I dream big when I don’t know exactly what I want? I put the journal down and went on to something else.

Today while cleaning up a mess on my patio floor I started dreaming about having a bigger patio. If I’m going to dream about a bigger patio it needs to be attached to something—like a big home—my dream home. Thus starts my Dream Big dream home I dream about building. I want to share snippets as I gather my thoughts about this great endeavor that is subject to change many times before the final outcome.

My Big Dream today is a big patio. I need a big patio because I want to live on it when the weather’s not too hot or cold. It would be as a single multipurpose room. Part of the patio will have an outdoor kitchen with a dining table and a living room area. A fireplace or fire pit and a television have to be included. A couple of ceiling fans will create a nice breeze. It looks like this is going to be a big outdoor area.

While I’m dreaming I might as well add an enclosed area that will keep the bugs and other invite guests out when sitting out late nights.

I love sitting on my patio and listen to the birds chirping away. When I have time to sit a while, I look forward to visits from my Hummingbird friends who like to play hide and seek-catch me if you can with me.

I want my outdoor living space to be adorned as beautiful as the inside of my home. Beautiful, flowers to edge the patio that will be a pleasing fragrance and add to the peaceful, resting place. I also want the same beautiful landscape and feeling to extend around the whole house.
