This morning I chose to listen to a
Tedx on the way to work. The music player on my phone wasn't working and the book I have been listening to I knew wouldn't do what I wanted so I went to YouTube instead. The program I listened to (there is that link to it above), spoke about living/achieving our dreams. It is a little like The Secret, but one person's story and in just over 18 minutes. Any how, it made me realize that I am in the beginning stages of living a dream and becoming Baroness. I didn't get here quite the way I thought. I didn't expect to have my daughter be my partner in this when I first thought about it. There are people that I had hoped to share this with that won't be here. There are things that I expected to find important that seem trivial now and things that I knew would be important that are even more so now. There are other aspects that I am still trying to wrap my thoughts around.
Sometimes, the dreams a person have are squashed. It is sad, frustrating, maddening. Things happen that we have no control over. They point our life in a different direction. An unexpected journey (so to speak) that takes us to a different space, or keeps us from moving forward. When this happens, I have learned to take a deep breath, maybe some time, and reform or create new dreams.
There are other dreams I have that must wait because of the time commitment that is involved in becoming a part of the Baronage. I will do my best to hold onto those dreams too. To nurture them and help them grow. These dreams are my
happy for today and what I am thankful for.
