Dream by Denise Brown

Dream

We dream at night.
Why can’t we also dream during the day? Why can’t we dream of the life we want?
Why bother, you may say, my dreams will never come true. They can’t come true during caregiving.
Maybe. And, maybe not. Dream:
  • You stand your ground with grace and self-respect with those who would like to undercut your efforts;
  • You see and embrace the moments of joy present each day for you;
  • You live a life that reflects your values;
  • You continue to enjoy those activities and hobbies that lighten your step;
  • You look back at your life and can say: I’m so glad I did that;
  • You evaluate your needs and then take steps to have them met;
  • You look back at your life and can say: I’m so glad I said that;
  • You have a bank account that allows you to make your choices;
  • You consider your wants and then go out and get them;
  • You have relationships which you love and which love you right back;
  • You look good when you walk into a room (any room).
You have so much to dream about. Close your eyes. Dream.
