What's In a Dream?

Have you ever had a dream?  I have a dream.  I want to be a children's book writer, I want to write, period.  I suppose that is why a blog site appeals to me so much.  My dream blossomed later than most of my peers.  I knew I wanted to get married, have a good career and children, I never thought much beyond that.  I didn't even fantasize about my wedding day.  I have accomplished two of these goals, except children.  Somehow the hollow, unfulfilled feeling the other two accomplishments left me with, created the hesitation to jump on board the mommy train.  I knew having a family would be fulfilling on many levels, but it isn't the soul gratifying, passionate, following my dreams kind of fulfilling I am looking for.  I have spent the last few years trying to figure out what it is I am yearning for.  I don't know if I ever will know that answer.  Maybe I don't want to .  Somehow in the searching a tension is created within me that keeps pushing me forward, looking for something more, something deeper.  What I have come to understand about myself is that I am at my best when I am writing.  Words allow my the opportunity to achieve clarity.  I have a dream.  Writing.  I hope I always have a dream.  Dreams push me out of my safe, secure world.  Dreams make our hearts sing, and our souls fly.  Never give up on your dreams.  It would be a life not fully lived.
