We all chase dreams. Sometimes we’re successful. Other times, the dream is illusive always remaining a bit out of our reach. As we chase our dreams it’s wise to hold tight to what we cherish. What value does the dream have if we lose what we cherish on the way to the dream.

Today’s Inspiration ~ Follow Your Dreams
Life is a journey. How we travel is really up to us. We can just flow with the tide or follow our own dreams.
Something to Think About
Each of us are on a journey. Our journeys are unique. No one knows where our journey will lead. No one knows the challenges we’ll face. No one knows the eventual destination. Our journeys are a mystery. We may make a list of goals. We may write a clear description of our dreams. We may make out a clear map of our journey. But life has a way of grabbing hold of us and taking us in a different direction. Don’t fight the journey. Embrace the journey and it’s challenges, it belongs to you and no one else. Happy traveling.
A Better Life ~ It’s Time to Get Things Done
We want to do a lot of things. Some folks have goals, bucket lists, or dreams of what they want to do. When we turn the things we want to do into things we’ve done, we’ve got a great sense of accomplishment.

To Sleep ~ John Keats
To Sleep
John Keats
O soft embalmer of the still midnight,
Shutting, with careful fingers and benign,
Our gloom-pleas’d eyes, embower’d from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine:
O soothest Sleep! if so it please thee, close
In midst of this thine hymn my willing eyes,
Or wait the “Amen,” ere thy poppy throws
Around my bed its lulling charities.
Then save me, or the passed day will shine
Upon my pillow, breeding many woes,–
Save me from curious Conscience, that still lords
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole;
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,
And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.
Writers’ Wisdom: Listen to Your Heart
“When I told my teachers I wanted to be a writer, alot of them encouraged me to lower my expectations and to be more realistic. So I rode away on my magical, winged horse, spraying faerie dust behind me, and laughing manically as I went.” ~ M.E. Vaughan
