If I could, I’d…

Yesterday, I wrote about slowing my weekend down, and enjoying myself at a more leisurely pace. Well, I tried that, and at the time I actually thought that I was succeeding. Now, I realise that I hadn’t succeeded at all! Thinking back, the time has gone just as quickly as it usually does. I’ve still enjoyed myself, however, but I think that adds a little more emphasis on the saying ‘live in the moment’. Just make each moment a little more special and that in itself will make it last longer!

So, what was so special about today then? Well, I’ve added another blog to my recommendations page, so that gives me more good reading to have a look at – and boost my good feelings even more at the same time! I’ve listened to some ‘old’ music, songs that I’ve not heard in a long time – they still sound as good to me today as they did when I first heard them. Included in my hit list today were Deacon Blue’s ‘Your Swaying Arms’, Manhattan Transfer singing ‘Chanson D’Amour’, Kelly Marie with ‘It Feels Like I’m In Love’, Terry Wogan’s ‘Floral Dance’ and Mekado performing ‘Wir Geben ‘Ne Party’ in 1994’s Eurovision Song Contest. I have a varied taste in music, but really like what I like! And I spent the afternoon in the company of a group of sultry and moody vampires, and playful yet protective werewolves. I wouldn’t mind being a werewolf myself if it meant my body would be as toned as their’s were when not in their wolf form. Oh, sorry, started to drift into another realm there – I watched the movie New Moon, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I haven’t seen any of the other movies in this series – yet – that doesn’t matter. I sometimes like things being a little out of sequence anyway. Look at this blog for example!

So, onto this post. Trying to slow down time was probably a bit of a bigger task for me, if I’m being honest. I thought it was a good idea at the time! And, if I could, I would, obviously! This has got me thinking about what other things I’d like to do if I could.

I’ve briefly touched on one thing I’d like to have a go at – being the werewolf. For the toned body. I suppose it must be due to all the running. I’m not a very good runner.

If I could, I’d like to also live like a vampire. I’m partway to being a vampire anyway, as I’m sultry and moody at times, but they wear some great clothes and if I could, I’d love my clothes to look as good on me as their’s do on them. I mean I do look as though I’m wearing my clothes, but sometimes I’d look in a mirror and think “You definitely do not look like a vampire!” Ah well. At least the vampire look is achievable!

If I could, I’d love to play the harp. Or the panpipes. Or both. I have a varied taste in music, but would love to be able to play a modern, up to the minute number one hit on the harp. In fact, I’d love to be able to pluck just one string in tune! Still, playing the harp or panpipes can also be achieved, so I’ll add this to my book of goals, when I get around to creating it.

If I could, I’d travel in time – just for a quick visit, not to stay.

If I could, I’d learn how to fly.

If I could, I’d learn how to speak in the cat language.

And if I could, I’d actually start my book that I keep promising to write. This blog has proved to me that I can put together a few words which make some kind of sense – although I need a little more than just words to write my book.

Not everything is impossible. I’ll finish today with another favourite quote of mine. It’s from Walt Disney, I believe:

Whether you say you can’t or you can, you’re right.
