Daydream Believer

I admitted to a close friend recently that I sometimes live in a little fantasy world, all of my own. Half expecting my friend to laugh at me she replied that she too creates little worlds.

Now my conclusion could be that we’re both barking mad, but I don’t think so and when we say fantasy we’re not talking very naughty rude ones. Let me give you an example.

We’ve had a helicopter flying over our house every day for at least 5 days. The fact that we live near the country side and a motorway, and it’s a police helicopter and we’re obviously on the flight path has not stopped me believing that the helicopter pilot fancies me!!

We know how sophisticated their equipment can be and by chance he spotted me in the garden on one of the fly overs. That was it, he just had to keep flying over our house whenever he got the chance. I’ve probably put him off now anyway as on the weekend I was out in the garden in my pyjamas (not the most attractive look).

I mentioned this to my husband. I think my words were (with a little giggle attached) “in my delusional, romantic state of mind, I think that helicopter pilot fancies me”, to which my darling husband who always keeps me grounded replied “that’s right, delusional”.

He did give me a smile with it, but I’ve noticed these smiles are becoming the kind of “there, there keep taking the tablets” type of smile.

My friend, by the way, thinks that every man she talks to fancies her and wants to flirt with her. We both agreed that it wasn’t because we are craving a different life, we like the ones we’ve got and with the people that are in our life.

I think sometimes that a little daydreamy distraction can help you through the day and if it puts a smile on your own face, makes you treat people nicely and doesn’t harm anyone, does it matter?
