A friend sent me a plaque last year when I really needed reminding to believe in my dreams of the future--- I was reading it today and wanted to share it with you all....

Dream A New Day

Life is a trail with a wonderful view,  but the path isnt always so easy for you.

   You gaze at the peak from the place where you stand and try to approach it in 

ways you have planned.

   Time will decide if your route is the best, If you can negotiate every steep test.

  Yet, life is an endless assortment of views-----New paths, new approaches

  new summits to choose.

And if a past vision you have to revise, another will greet you just over the next rise

Another objective, another grand view, another firm purpose to motivate you.

So take on the challenge; reach out for a way; expand the adventure;

and DREAM A NEW DAY!!!!

   Have a great Monday everyone and reach for your dreams!!

Hey U - I am so glad you guys started this site.  I was reading this post of yours and thinking it would be nice to have those words written up by our falls near our cabin.  People have discovered the falls and hike there all the time now, and they have destroyed the foliage around the falls.  They pull branches off of trees to use for whatever and have just torn up the area where we have always had our picnics.  :(  It's kind of like what we do to ourselves when we are smoking.  We do it enough, we change not only how we look, but how we function.  This site can help us journey to a new day with a new look.  I am seeing a new look in me.  One that is definitely easier to live with although I don't like the weight.  That will change too, with time.  My dream?  To manage my life better than I was before.  And that can bring on anything...

Very nice post Kathy. I'm doing some dreaming of my own. I have been learning to cartoon. When I have some good ones done I would love to send some to you. Earl has seen some of my drawings. I had taken up drawing last year when I started my quit. Gave it up for awhile, but to keep my sanity I have taken it up again. They are having a Creative Drawing course at the Durham College Campus in Uxbridge, and I'm really giving it some thought at to taking it. I'll let you know if I decide to take it. It's 20 hours, pastels, charcoal, still live.........etc, etc, etc.

Keep on Smiling

You can be a good example....
