I've been thinking about this for a few days. I realized that as I'm nearing my mid-fifties, my dreams are a wee bit different from Ms. Ginger's.
My family is grown and now they're starting their own families. My husband & I downsized nearly seven years ago and life is simpler. So are my dreams. I still will Dare to Dream them and list them to earn my badge. So far I have a few - I'm still thinking...
1 - Be a vital part of my daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren's lives (even though miles separate us physically).
2 - Find the missing pieces to my large tree of ancestors. I'm working on this now.
3 - Continue to learn something new - every day. Today I learned - Eggplant can actually taste good if prepared correctly.
4 - Take my grandchildren (& their parents) to Disney World.
5 - Visit Niagara Falls. I've always wanted to see this powerful place.
6 - Take a moment during my day to breathe slowly and appreciate the life I have. I am actually living my dream.
7 - Continue to appreciate the small things in life (i.e., a sunrise, a small child's smile, a butterfly on a bush).
There are more I'm sure. I'll add them as I think of them. I do know that this quote by William Arthur Ward is true...
“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.”
