To only one that left me scratching my head was #8.
I'm going to try to post every day in October. I really haven't been a faithful blogger, and October is National Blog Posting Month. This is day 2, my day 1 post is on Loves Books and Tea.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing my life with me,

Good luck with the blogging everyday. #8 gave me pause too, I think the dreaming part is what makes you happy, but travel can be stressful, so Dream On.
