Dreams

Dreams are big part of everyone's existence whether they want to admit it or not. When I was a child I had many dreams of what my future will hold. I dreamed of being a writer, a mail carrier, a veterinarian, a archaeologist, and so much more. I have always had a huge imagination and often found myself living in make up worlds as I was growing up to deal with my life with growing up with my family. Being the youngest of seven was not the easiest of things to do. I had low self esteem and hated what I saw back in the mirror. I didn't even like what I sounded like when I would speak. So I read and read. By the time I found myself in high school I was reading at a college level and believe me when I say the teachers was not quite sure what to do with me. I was quiet and normally had a book with me where ever I went. The librarian grew to know me on a regular basis  and often would recommend books to me. I found myself loving to write reports and while the other students would grumble about doing a report I found myself almost too ready to tackle another assignment. I think that this is a reason I like to blog about my crazy life with my cat Gizmo and my other fur babies. I had another fur baby when I was much younger. My first fur baby was a little black cat named Midnight. I had him for eight wonderful years. He became my protector and my best friend when I had none. I remember if he thought I was up past my bed time he would manage to chase me to bed. I wished he was still here with me. There is something about your first pet that is almost magical. I shared so many of my dreams and wishes with him. I am disappointed that I have not accomplished all of them but I have not given up. I keep writing to give myself hope and I take photos of others to give them hope and memories of special times. I will not give up on my dreams. My dreams have changed from that little girl that I use to be to the woman that I am now. My only regret is that I wished I had a photo of my little midnight. My advice to anyone that may read this keep your dreams alive and keep aiming for them. Never give up.

Blessed Be to all,
