If someone asked you now "What is your dream?" - could you give them an answer???
Apart from the usual - "To win tattslotto..." I really couldn't give you clear cut answer...
Why don't I have dream that is crystal clear.. and dream that is achievable... Something that I can work towards...
Perhaps I am working towards dreams and it isn't just a conscious thing... We love living where we do... This really is a dream to live out of town on our little farm. Making this property our own is important to us... we are doing this... making that dream come true.
I have had bad skin from my teenage years and still now have the odd breakout. I used to dream about waking up and have skin of a model. I didn't just have the odd pimple. I had acne on my face, back, chest, tops of my arms & shoulders..
I was reading an old copy of a Madison magazine and I read about how models have to look after their skin.. if they have bad skin.. they don't have a job... those high school issues came rushing back again... For YEARS I would never leave the house without makeup... swim without a t-shirt.. not wear tank tops so not to show the tops of my arms.. I was so embarrassed by it.
Now.. that all seems so silly. I don't care. I live in singlet tops, leave the house without doing my hair.. let alone make-up and swim in a bikini. Sure.. my skin has cleared up since then, but I have scaring that is still promient. I guess.. in a way.. my attitude changed.. making this dream come true!
After having my children, I just to also dream about losing weight. To look great in a pair of jeans. All of this seems so superficial.. are these things really important??? But.. I guess that dream also became a reality!
What is my dream now??? I think it is a natural thing to dream for the best for your family.. but what is MY dream??? What is my next dream to work towards??
Why did I dream to be thin and have clear skin??? .. In hindsight, the picture is much clearer, but at the time when those dreams and wishes where made, it was only vanity.
I feel better about myself if I am happy on how I look. I have more confidence, I believe in myself, I believe that I am a successful person. It is so much more then just fitting into a size 10 pair of jeans....
Now... better start dreaming of a dream...

You're right- what's the point of dreaming of fitting into size 10 jeans if you have no dreams of what to do after that happens!!?
What a great thought! Hope you think of something fab soon!

ps. so glad you're back
I have an idea for you. It's called 43 things.
It is a great website that reminds you of your dreams and goals.
Say for example a small goal was to learn how to knit... you write that in and the site will remind you and serve as a motivational tool. You can also speak with others that have fullfilled that goal.

P.S. Im so glad the kids and you love doing the half drive!
good luck on finding that new dream, you've already come so far!
I guess now that you have the physical stuff out of the road, maybe you need something for your mind? Just a thought.
Good to see you posting regularly again.
Have a great week.

WOW that has certainly mad me think. You are completely right when you say that you always dream about having the best for your family etc but what is YOUR dream.
I hope you find your's soon and I will also be thinking of one (or 5) for me..........thanks.
Your post has really touched home for me - I can relate to not leaving the house without makeup - ect, ect
Yah - you are back! Missed you. Great post about dreams. Dreams are so important, yet we often forget them or dismiss them in the business of life.
Take care

What a lovely post Kirsty and thank you for giving me something to think about. I guess we fall into our daily routines without much thought, a lot of the time, of what we really want from life. Food for thought, thanks Hon :)
