a most ideal life

what makes an ideal life? fame? fortune? or simply having just enough of what you need, simple comfort, the sun shining, good health and the love of a dog? maybe all? maybe not?

for me, if i could get rid of all the boxes in my spare room and half the clothes in my closet, without feeling guilty about wastage, and a lot of time for painting, writing, reading and photography, i'd be very content with whatever else i have left.

Terrific shot of SOMEONE'S ideal life. Yours sounds reasonable too and if you give all that away it isn't wasted!

All the ladies who would enjoy your clothes would thank you for giving them to the women’s shelter. At first I thought the lady in your image was Katy. 😊

ugh i know how it feels , so easy to get stuff but then its hard to get rid of responsibly

[Esther Rosenberg]

Oh, did I need this pose today... lol....

[Taffy]

So relaxing!

[Lisa Poland]

Looks like a fabulous idea.

Having enough time to do what your image shows is definitely a requirement for an ideal life.

If only getting rid of stuff is as easy as getting it in the first place

[Delwyn Barnett]

Being able to relax like that sure would be a great bonus! Life does get a bit crazy.

A wonderful philosophy. I'm going to pop over to help you get rid off those unopened boxes one day.

[Susan Wakely]

Good to take time out now and again. Great candid capture.
No point having boxes in your spare room and clothes in your closet if they are of no use to you.

Looks like a delightful way to enjoy some "down" time on a beautiful day!

[Merrelyn]

I don't need fame or fortune and I don't have a dog so I'd swap that for family and friends and the rest of it is spot on :)

[Sally Ings]

That's quite a large dog (maybe an Irish Wolfhound). Boxes in the spare room seems a perfect case of 'out of sight, out of mind'

Peaceful scene.

[Renee Salamon]

Nothing quite like feeling the sun on your face. For the rest , enjoy each day as it comes

Nice capture and resting in the sun will do me fine.

Wonderful candid shot!
