We were all sitting around the dining room table enjoying afternoon "tea and crumpets!"
I had invited my neighbors for just the sheer pleasure of it.
As we were munching away, out of the clear blue, I threw a question at them.
"What are your dreams?"
They didn't even look askance at my asking this intimate question.
They dove right into it.
Without any hesitation.
And most of them had similar answers:
"I dream of all the trips i would love to take."
Then out of the clear blue, someone turned to me and asked,
"What are your dreams"
It took me by surprise.
I didn't know what to answer
Slowly, the answer came to me.
"I don't have any dreams.
When i get an idea that captivates me
I immediately take the steps to turn it a reality.
Sometimes I can make it happen immediately.
Sometimes it can take me months.
But does it really matter how long.
The adventure lies in trying to turn the idea into reality.
The thrill is like rock climbing. Finding that ledge to hoist you to the next ledge.
And when you find it and you hoist up, that's a thrill of accomplishment!
And the next ledge takes you to the next ledge.
Each ledge a thrill!
The adventure ends when the idea turns into a reality!
No more ledges!
And that's when another idea takes hold, and I'm off!"
