Walking with Dreamers.

There have been times that I've been accused of being a dreamer.

Head in the clouds.

Not practical.

If you only had a plan to back up all your energy.

Yep - a dreamer.

You know what, I don't care -- in fact I'm starting to like it!  

A lot.

 
Recently, my family was at this huge "amish-like" restaurant (where we go once a year to completely stuff our faces with carbs) and this sign was hanging on the wall.
I want this sign -- for real.
I like what it has to say about dreaming AND believing.  To do both, you do have to have courage and cheer.  It's helpful to have a good plan too (which I'm still working on seeing the value of).  But mostly I love the line right there in the middle: THE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE WITH THEIR HEADS IN THE CLOUDS AND THEIR FEET ON THE GROUND.  

Makes me think about heaven every time.  

I live here -- but I Do. Not. Belong. Here.  A hard concept to remember in the midst of strategy sessions at work, saving for college, getting the kids (and myself) to the dentist, and trying to figure out why sometimes I need a vacation...
after vacation.  


Tonight, I'm going to go to bed dreaming.
And tomorrow, when I wake up -- I hope I'm still dreaming, 
about the day when relationships are easy, doctors reports don't matter all that much, rest is refreshing, and my kids put away their laundry without being asked.
And that maybe, just maybe you're walking with me!
