dreams

I've been thinking a lot about dreams lately. They're kind of tricky things. You have to dream big to achieve success, and yet, if that's all you focus on, you run the risk of letting the rest of life pass you by—or becoming frustrated with a constant state of have-not. I've decided that I'm pretty fortunate at this stage in my life, because my most important dream of all has already come true: finding happiness. Although there are things that can definitely bring me down, no matter what happens, I can come home at the end of the day and laugh, snuggle, and fill my heart with love. That gives me the incredible fortune and freedom of being able to chase after smaller dreams while knowing that, if I fall, there will always be someone there to catch me.
