I don't fret too much about dreams of mine that never came to fruition. I'd rather keep my mind and eyes on dreams of what I could still accomplish between now and the time I "fly away".

I oft times think of what might have been, but would not trade what I have to see it. I sometimes think we chose our life before we get here.

what lovely wishes you have for your loved ones and your friends
Someone once told me that if there is an easy path or a difficult path, I will choose the difficult path. Sigh! but as you write, maybe that is the way i have been meant to live. Love you my darling friend.

As with any aspect of life, there are always certain things simply out of our control. But it never hurts to have some kind of dream, some kind of pathway you would like to follow. It may not necessarily have to do with a "successful career," like you said, but rather with something you truly love to do, would truly love to accomplish. The dreams may change from time to time, along with the circumstances, but having those visions is better than having none at all. At least that's the way I feel . . .

My aspirations have changed a lot during my life! I have been fortunate to be able to try a lot of different things! The last year has been ever-changing, too! I don't have regrets and I got back what I put into it and am quite satisfied! This past few months of having to compromise what I wanted in a house, what I could afford and what the market had to bear taught me a lot about perspective but still able to get the majority of what I was wanting in a home! I think we just need to find a comfort zone and build from there and perhaps there won't be enough that didn't happen to make one go back and think! Just keep growing into the things of choice as tastes and desires change with our aging! I like this post it got me thinking and that's always a good thing! sam

In the book of Jeremiah the Lord says "I know the plans I have for you to profit you and not to harm you." I believe him and do believe he knows everything we have done or will ever do. I do not believe He is bored because He would not have created us lesser beings. He also says in the same book: I knew you before I placed you into your mother's womb. That is one of the reasons I love to study the Bible because there is so much He tells us that when tracing it in so many directions it has to be true. I love long comments, don't ever apologize about that.

I thinks it's in the nature of things the most dreams remain just that - dreams! But it's good to have them!

Oh I have thought about that same thing often... I think everyone does.. the things we dreamed when as youngsters all the doors of life stood in front of us and we made the choices that brought us where we are today and we made those choices, with our "free will"... It is hard to accept that sometimes... easier to believe that everything is written... that our destiny is set from the moment we are conceived ...that nothing is truly our fault because we are powerless to fight our fate...
That is the way it would be and is if G-d iwere all knowing. He would know the choices we were going to make even before we made them... Does He? Did He in his infinite wisdom allowed that loop-hole to exist, our "free will" , to make it more interesting for Him... It would be quite boring for our Lord to "know" how everything is going to end... no surprises :-) ... no : "Oh my goodness look how little
Marta handled that!" ... I think it is a trap easy to fall in to think that G-d thinks like we do, that we, for a nanosecond, can possibly understand His plan, or the reasons He ( or She :-)) had or did not have to do something... what He does or doesn't know... At the end of all my wondering I always say my thank yous to Him for what he is given me and specially for what He is probably taken away from my path without my even noticing... I trust Him ( or Her :-)) and when one trusts that trust has to be total and unconditional... as His love is for us. WOW I truly let it rip here loll I got to get a hold of myself and keep this comments shorter. Sorry Justi... Love you xoxoxo

Well said, Justi. Many of us have forgotten how to count our blessings in our struggle to achieve more...and more...and more.
