Daydreaming

As I sit here at work listening to the constant hum of the office and hear my co-workers talking in the background, my mind wanders.  Lately I've been finding it harder and harder every day to focus on my work and instead I daydream about getting a do over on my life. 

Don't get me wrong - I love my life, but if I could go back and live it again, there are definitely some things I would add on to my list of must-dos before it's too late!

These include going away to college and studying abroad.  I did graduate from a four year university.  I did not, however, go away to college..... instead I just commuted from home.  I've always regretted this decision, but at the time, I didn't even think twice.  I had been dating my high school boyfriend for 3 years when we started college, and he wasn't going away to school, so by default, neither was I. 

I've also always been incredibly jealous of people who travel overseas to study abroad - Paris, Florence, etc. etc.  It's something I always wish I could have done.  I'm also jealous of people who have made life-altering decisions and uprooted their lives in the US and moved to Europe and re-established their lives.  It's something I dream of doing..... one day.  Maybe when I'm older and my children are grown..... but on days like today, I really wish I had it in me to make a move like that now.  Instead, I'll continue daydreaming....
