In Others’ Words: Chasing the Dream
It’s the middle of November, which means I’m thinking of Thanksgiving … and then Christmas … and then the New Year is is fast approaching.
Are you feeling breathless yet?
This is the time of year I often look forward and backward at the same time. I consider what I wanted to accomplish during the past year — did my dreams come true? — even as new dreams lure me into the months ahead.
I want to slow down and savor the here and now … these moments, these memories-in-the-making. But there’s no denying that dreams are calling me into tomorrow. I’ve been chasing these dreams-coming-true for months now and achieving them means more running. More laps around the virtual track, so to speak. I’ve accomplished some things … and there’s more to do. As a writing friend and I like to say: Living the dream means doing the work.
We’re moving into what can become the busiest season of the year, where the holidays can so easily become the “holidaze.” The challenge? Looking back and enjoying the dreams that came true, accepting the ones that didn’t, and discovering new dreams for the coming year — all the while not overlooking the joys of the here and now.
In Your Words: What dream have you been chasing this year? Has it come true … or are you still logging miles in pursuit of it? Don’t give up! Keep dreaming!
