A beautiful dream for 2025
2024 - It was a nice year for me. I got the permanent position to lead the team I like and get along with.
The highlight of the year was to go on my first cruise. I went on Taste of Tasmania on the P&O cruises - Pacific Adventure. The company has sold and will continue to operate under a different banner.
I had never seen the interior of a ship other than in the movie Titanic. This ship had 16 stories. We could go upto the deck on the 15th floor to see the view of the sea. This floor also had a gym, acupuncture, paid spa, and other health related professional services 14th floor had swimming pools, spa baths, ping pong table, the pantry where we had our meals and some rooms. 8-12 floors were all rooms. I had changed my ticket from 12 floors to the 10th floor and paid a little extra as the booking staff mentioned that this was the most stable floor. I didn’t want any sea sickness ruining my experience. Initially, I was planning to take my special needs child on the trip with me. Later, I worried that he might do over eating and get sick as the food was almost unlimited. So, I took my daughter instead.
I overspent my money in a jewellery store in the ship. I should not have done that. I would have never gone shopping at all if it wasn’t for their $250 birthday gift voucher. That was just the lure and I got caught. What I bought was very pretty and so didn’t care about the cost as if nothing mattered more than owning that necklace. I purchased it under my daughter’s name as I am a mortal and she is expected to outlive me.
In the Christmas holidays, we went property exploring. Now my heart is dead set on buying a nearly 600 acre farm by a river near the beach. It has the abundance of land for my gardening mania, river for my water sports dream and a beach for swimming and nice mid-north coast cosy climate. It has the potential to heal my traumatic relationship and make it honey sweet once more. It seems that there is a potential buyer for my property which will allow me to afford this dream. If I ended up getting this property,
This property has the potential to give me many more dream until the end of my life. I can see myself building a big shed underneath and a house on top, overlooking the river. My kayaking gear, quad bike and big tracker in the shed.
I will have a hot house full of flowering plants for tourists to browse. More Australian medicinal and aromatic plants under the big melaleuca trees. Another huge shed with a cafe and souvenir shop and buses parked outside to take the tourists to various destinations around this stretch of the world.
Since the Tasmania trip, I really see tour guides as the best friends of the tourists. It’s not just about making money from them. People go on holiday like that with an expectation to see all they can in a very short window and pick up things to bring back memories of the places they visited. I want to make people’s lives beautiful and memorable. That would be my way of giving all the love I can, to as many people as I can. Through gardening, I will thank the land I live on. To rivers, I will comb them with my kayak and in beaches, I throw myself in to become one with all that I see. A beautiful dream I see ahead of me!.
