Yes the title is a catchy Aerosmith song, (and done great by Eminem too) but it is something I have been contemplating lately. Dreaming can be very fun to do, to look into the future and see a grand life you are wanting to have someday. That was not the case recently for me and Jayme. We looked at our dreams and we wondered if we were making the best decsions to reach those dreams. It was a sad afternoon of FB messages back and forth, but there was a great light that came from it. We realized that even though we cannot make every dream happen today, we can still make some, enter, Creative day.
Creative day allows us to express our creative side, we both want to someday be able to build a home together and make it ours, but for now we can paint pictures, play music, write stories and do all the other things that allow us to create in a different way. It is a nice change from just sitting in front of the TV (which we still like to do). It lets us live some of those dreams we have, even if just for a few hours in an evening.
It is hard to imagine a world without Jayme in my life, having a woman that can help me reach my dreams today and into the future is an amazing gift. So that golden field of prairie grass blowing in the stiff autumn winds might only be a picture today, but it is a dream I will realize with my bride by my side.
