This Thing Called My Life I sit here and think About this thing called my life Of all the things I have wanted Of all the dreams and hopes That passed through my mind I used to have such high hopes I remember with a smile Dreaming when I was younger Of being a writer of novels Or maybe in a magazine I had such hopes and dreams Thinking just wait…a few more Years will pass… and it will happen And I realize with a heavy sigh That was twelve years ago. And still is sit… my dreams now Instead of guiding me as before They mock me… laughing inside The corners of my mind Reminding me of what my life is And what my life could have been. |

never give up, life is an adventure and sometimes there are slips and falls, just get right up and start all over again. The only way to learn is in failure, then we gain success , I know pretty deep, but so true. I know we all say we'll do it tomorrow . I procrastinate like you wouldn't believe, just keep doing the best you can. |

Dreams can come true, you just have to remember to reach out for what you want. Sometimes it seems as if you're getting no where, fast, but just being in the this family means we can learn. Your life is only just starting girl, so enjoy it, live each moment. Take care of those dreams, they're not mocking they are calling you forward, follow them. Warm hugs  |

Wow!, I can relate to this one. I think Marsha has said it better than I could, and she is so right! Each new day is a new opportunity! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Oh Rosepetals ... I too can relate all to well to these questioning words you've penned. So many questions, so few answers, but always an opportunity to change to a positive and new direction lies within. Keep your dreams alive ... they will come, and thank you for this lovely read ... nicely penned! Best wishes, /Kit |
