The Symphony of Possibilities

"When I was a kid, if a guy got killed in a western movie I always wondered who got his horse." (George Carlin)

So life has really turned a wheel on me lately. I guess I have become accustomed to a life devoid of motion. Not looking forward to the world beyond. Not wondering what tomorrow will hold.

Not dreaming like a child

Not daring to get my shoes dirty in the sandbox. Not letting my ponytail go during the drive back home after work. Not leaving the ketchup on my lower lip untouched when I know people are indeed watching. Not smiling to a very grumpy lady that rams her cart ON TO my feet in the grocery store.

Not believing I can do it all

But, you see...I have permission to do it all

I have a duty to do it all

Becuase I am invinsible...

With God

I know the quote may sound barbaric to some or gruesome to others. But as children, we don't miss a thing. If one thing goes wrong, there are aleast a million other things waiting to go right. And as of late, I have noticed that spark in me... blow out. That enthusiasm that would keep me up at night, dreaming of my future. The can-do attitude that made me happy. In my own little world, I was a fighter. I was fighting obstacles, circumstances, real-life bullies.

ANYWAY

I am close to getting a promotion. At work. Something I had no time to dream of. No strength to dream of. As soon as I heard the possibility of a promotion, I put it aside and said to myself I would not get my hopes up.

Yet here I am. Awaiting my third interview... with the district manager. Something I would've only dreamt of as a child. Not that it's a great position, but it's definitely improving.

So I am telling you, Marlen;) Please dare to dream. To laugh. To feel the breeze on your face. With your windows down. On a hot day. To find God. To love.
