Some Dreams are a long time in the making. Take me for example, for as long as I can remember whenever I spend vacation in a country setting I no sooner had put down my suitcase as I had found myself in the nearest Barn or among a congregation of critters. My best Friend pointed out some years ago that most pictures of me that she knew of were with me sitting on a Horse. Fast forward many years and I came close with a 10 acre property and a beautiful Home with the idea of a Barn and Horses across the driveway. That Dream died for I was too afraid that I would not have the money to pay a Vet if something went wrong with one of the Horses. So I let fear in fact stop me from realizing my Dream (even though I meant well).
The closest I have come lately was farm sitting for a Friend of mine, where I had understood that while there are some definite musts for my Farm I am willing to adjust my wishlist in light of good reason.
Having my Daughter move back into the same State where I want to find myself when it is all said and done, and a possibility that I might live with them during their 3 year assignment not materializing, it is back to my very own Dream.
I come to believe that this Dream of mine is on the verge of happening and I am utilizing the time to work out more of the details. It is an exciting feeling and I say "Yes" to that Dream. With it comes my chance to let all my organic crazy fully come to Life. I want to teach out of the Barn, create in a little Shop, have my Vegetables complete with Greenhouse, that Horse, to end my saga of the horseless Rider and yes... a slew of Chicken. A while back I wrote about the way Eggs are treated before consumption, and I have not bought one since, supporting my local small Farmer.
When looking at it all, one can see that for this City girl it had to take this long to get it all worked out right, which is to say "It is ok, some Dreams take a long time, just don't give up".
So tell me...what is your Dream that won't let go?
