Sweet dreams of a Vacation

I'm sitting in Muddy Waters Cafe with my friend Steph to my left and an empty chair to my right. I find myself going in and out of daydreams trying not to focus on intense pains in my leg and lower back. I keep asking myself "Brandy where would you rather be than here, at school?" A flurry of vacation visions swarm in my mind but only one truely makes me happy:

I wake up in a huge bed (i'm talking King-size), my sheets and blankets are so soft and smell like cotton and ocean. I take a huge deep breathe and slowly get out of bed. I walk to the window, which has been left opened all night, and breathe in the sweet smell of the ocean and the aroma instantly awakens my body and refreshes my soul and I say to myself "Thank you God for this day." I make tea slip into some shorts and t-shirt and take a mile run. I'm running along the beach leaving footprints in the sand which are eventually washed away by mother nature. I return home, take a shower and hang out all day wrapped in a robe. I take a book out to the beach and by this time I have somehow managed to get into a bathingsuit. I return home to some delicious dinner made by my one and only (who I have failed to mention throughout this vacation dream. However, he is with me the entire time). At the end of the day I go into a candle lit room and pray, I pray for everthing and everyone that I can think of; everyone imaginable. My prayer lasts for at least 30 minutes; I want it to be intense; I want to be in touch with God above and the God in me; I want to become closer with Him through the actions and people that I am around.
Though for me this daydream still lacks something; it lacks stability, it lacks unity, it lacks love, passion of the humanly kind not referring to the stability/ unity/ love etc that God brings into my life. I feel like this day dream is blurry in some places even though I feel deep in my heart that I can actually see his face. Is this fate that i'm seeing or just some silly girls wishful thinking?
I will continue to dream this vacation scene and I know one day I will reach it; i'll be here you wait and see; i'll be relaxing here and perhaps your wishful thinking will get the best of you. But fear not, dear dear wishfult thinker! Your wishful dreams will one day become reality and you will be the one who will set other thinkers wishes ablaze.
