Your Dream....

What's your dream?
Often we become mired in the muck of life. There are realities and obligations. At moments we are lucky enough to live out a dream. Few of us live our dreams for long. Often we are waiting for the dream opportunity to land in front of us.
All of my life I have been a dreamer. I recall very early days when someone would say "I'm bored", and I would be stunned. I would respond, "we could do xx" or "let's do xx" and they would be "bored". Life is full of options and opportunities. How can we be bored?
As a dreamer, I tend to think a lot. If this happens, I can do that. If that happens, I can do this. Looking back I realize I've actually lived a lot of dreams. Some dreams lived out the way I thought they would or better than I thought they would. Some dreams didn't. But I lived them out. I lived them.
Still I dream. There are so many things I could be doing. So many things I would love to do. I dream. I even dream about how my end days might be. If this, then how could it be? If that, then how could it be? I dream.
Our possibilities are endless. As long as we live - as long as we dream - there is something.
For me, the dream is to touch a life somehow. If in all my days, I can touch a life and offer something that will pay forward, I will be living a dream.  To touch the life right in front of me, this moment, in this place, in this time and forever more - that is a dream.

  1. i have always been a dreamer...and could entertain myself for hours, I can say I have NEVER been bored...more likely to have wished I could have been able to clone myself to have been able to do more, do all the things I read about, dreamed about or all the numerous invitations to join others in their adventures. I was lucky to have had lots of siblings & cousins to have around to play with...because (quoting Linda here) I would wear them out and they would take turns and pass on when one would become exhausted from my energy. I still dream but no longer do I let things like, not ladylike, you can't afford that, age appropriate, you should be...there's a balance out there that sometimes you just need to just let go and do it. I've reached the half-way point (Gran did live to be 100) and I plan to live it L-A-R-G-E, kick up my heels, then hoop and holler to the end. But most important, make those memories that when I am long gone that people will look back fondly upon me and a little smile will just suddenly emerge across their face.
