"You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one..."

I imagine a new place to live. I can afford it because my social security claim went through. I imagine getting all the medical care I need - pain mananagement, psychiatric care, everything. I imagine that this enables me to make a real home for myself again.

My home has an ample living room and two bedrooms so I can have guests come stay with me. My home has a backyard, even just a little one, where I can play with my dogs everyday.

I imagine a neighborhood that is lovely and close to everything I want and need. I imagine being able to walk around it. I imagine practicing yoga once again. I imagine myself becoming fit, whole.

I imagine engaging with my friends again, having them over, maybe having some potlucks, with dance parties.

I imagine a new couch and decorating with Cezanne and Gauguin, bright colors to reflect my new life. I imagine hope springing eternal.
