Where would you like to be in 10 years?

In 10 years, I see...
A farm with a little family.
In 10 Years, what will I be?
A witch living between the trees?
This quarantine is giving me a lot of time to think, about life, about love, about who I am and where I am and why. When I imagine, I like to think, what are my parameters? logically, where will I be in 10 years? In the beginning. We are always beginning, whether it be that I am just beginning my farm, or beginning my store, or beginning a masters. Maybe I'll be beginning writing the books I've always dreamed of writing. Maybe I'll be beginning my family.
But if I had a million dollars! There are so many things I'd want to do. I'd buy my farm and a little yurt and live in the forested part of the land. With any luck I'd be deeply in love with my hubby. These are the things everyone dreams about though... a home, a love.
Where am I right now with those things? I love my sweet Brennen, and thank the stars for him each and every night. Our commitment is just to be good to each other, that's our expectation. As for a home, I love this little house I'm living in and am working hard to make it a bridge between Rural and Urban. This week we started our compost, our garden, and are about to start some sourdough starter. See! Always at the start. 10 years will not be a finishing point for me, it will be a starting point. But dreams, dreams.
In 10 years, I'll have stopped smoking.
In 10 years I'll have made money from my book.
It's funny, I sometimes dream about people arguing over my book, arguing about the points I make. Are they right or wrong? Who's to say. We must all decide for ourselves. 
In 10 years, the seed library will be functioning like a dream! People will come from all over the county to get seeds and to trade seeds. We'll always be there to bolster the seed with a special seed garden, but I would hope that people would bring in their own seed or save their own seed for their garden. 
In 10 years, Momma will move down to the farm to live in her little cabin and retire. 
In 10 years, I'll have finally worked my way up to sheep and will be shearing and dyeing, and making my own yarn. I'll be doing well with my online sales and will start a little store in New Castle. I'll be feeding people with the love that I put into my garden and the love that I put into my handmaid goodies too. 
In 10 years, I'll have my own fabric line. 
In ten years... 
In 10 years, I'll have read all my favorite books. 
In 10 years, I'll have written my nonfiction books. 
In 10 years, my hope chest will be complete and in full use. Does anyone still make hope chests, except for me? 
In 10 years, I'll start filling my daughter's hope chest.
