Dare to Dream!

Deep within ourselves, there is a special knowledge. It tells us every now and then what it is that will really make us happy. I think we are born with it. It tells us why we are here and what we should do with our lives. Sometimes we listen to that little voice, and other times we dismiss it as a “silly dream”. Dare to Dream! Don’t push what you want in your life aside as if you are not worth it. You are! Dare to Dream! If your mind wanders to that special spot where you know what you want, go get it! If it’s meant to be it will, or something even better for you will be there waiting. Dare to Dream! When others tell you it’s impossible, they are just trying to knock you down because they have dismissed their dreams and are miserable because of it. You deserve to be happy! Dare to Dream! As you sit at work, or at home, or are in the car driving down a tree lined street, let your dream penetrate your mind when it surfaces instead of burying it beneath your worries. Dare to Dream my friend. For in this life you are given today. This is not a dress rehearsal! It is here and now. Make it count, make it yours. Live your life feeling like you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. Where there is a will, there is a way, but you may have to be resourceful. As you reach for your dream, even though it may not turn out exactly as planned, you have reached and strived to fulfill your purpose in life- not what someone else had planned for you. Dare to Dream! I have all the confidence and faith in the world in you. Do you have it in yourself? Dare to Dream! Be true to yourself. If others offer assistance, take it, don’t let your pride get in the way. Learn from others who are on your journey. Don’t let your quest be so blinding that it prevents you from treating others with dignity and respect- including yourself. Don’t ever sell yourself for a dream. If that’s what it takes to achieve it, you would have sacrificed your soul, therefore the dream wasn’t real. Dare to Dream! Can you afford not to? © Ellen M. DuBois Minnie

Eyes of a Friend

When my heart’s feeling broken and my spirit’s lost its wings When the road is full of puddles and my step has lost its spring There is someone there to count on who repairs my broken heart and gives me wings to fly and I make a brand new start A special one who doesn’t judge me or criticize the things I do Someone who makes me take a look and see me through the eyes of you When this happens I am lifted to a place that’s far above from the darkness to the light to a place that’s full of love When I see me through your eyes things are really not so vile I thank God for you, my friend as my frown becomes a smile © Ellen M.

Bed in Summer

In Winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle light. In Summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people’s feet Still going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day? Robert Louis Stevenson Minnie

Empty Carriage

They walk down the street- faces reflecting a calmness so unfamiliar to me. Little eyes looking up at them; unknowingly relying upon their presence. We share the same planet, yet I feel upon another. To know the warmth of a soft breath upon my neck and the soundness of sleep upon my breast is no more than a mystery. Time does not cure all wounds of the heart when the soul remains unfulfilled. My eyes turn to the sky and I wonder why I am on a path that no longer fits my feet? Like a flower awaiting spring so it can burst forth with all its splendor, color and life so lies my love- dormant within the depths of my heart yearning to burst forth and be poured upon another. I push my carriage on the sidewalks of life and peer into it; hoping to see love gazing up into my eyes; unconditional, pure, beautiful and magical- only to find the carriage empty. © Ellen M.

Oh dear what can the matter be?

Oh dear what can the matter be? Dear dear what can the matter be? Oh dear what can the matter be? Johnny’s so long at the fair. He promised he’d buy me a fairing should please me, And then for a kiss, oh! He vowed he would tease me, He promised he’d bring me a bunch of blue ribbons To tie up my bonny brown hair. Oh dear what can the matter be? Dear, dear what can the matter be? Oh dear what can the matter be? Johnny’s so long at the fair. He promised to buy me a pair of sleeve buttons, A pair of new garters that cost him but two pence, He promised he’d bring me a bunch of blue ribbons To tie up my bonny brown hair. Oh dear what can the matter be? Oh dear what can the matter be? Dear dear what can the matter be? Oh dear what can the matter be? Johnny’s so long at the fair. He promised he’d bring me a basket of posies, A garland of lilies, a garland of roses, A little straw hat, to set off the blue ribbons That tie up my bonny brown hair.

When the sun comes up on Easter Day, Folks dressed in new outfits will be on display. Little Jane’s bright yellow dress has a big white bow, Her new shoes hurt but she won’t let her pain show. Brother Jimmy’s new suit is a young boy’s worst fear, He much rather dress in casual jeans type of gear. Mom bought a new outfit its two shades of pink, Dad saw how she looked and gave her a wink. The hand colored eggs have been hidden from view, The children will find them in the grass wet with dew. They each have a huge Easter basket to hold all their loot, Jimmy can’t wait to change out of his Easter Day suit. Jelly beans and chocolate Easter bunnies the children desire, Mom hid them out of sight just under the wire. Jane’s Easter basket is full, but not her tummy, The ham’s on the table and it sure looks yummy. Little brother heads to the kitchen to peak in the pans, But mother yells just in time – please wash your hands. The family sits down for Easter Day dinner, Mom thinks the yams will be a sure fire winner. The green beans and carrots are passed plate to plate, The kids want to eat until Dad says – not yet please wait. I had my own Easter basket filled to the brim, But my husband found it so I gave it to him. He ate most of the goodies except for just one, He saved me the chocolate bunny, Happy Easter everyonel.

Ordering

Did you ever go out to eat and just can’t decide what you want the menu looks great there is like everything and anything to satisfy those taste buds of yours. But try as you might you just can’t decide what you want.Well maybe next time you go out to dinner or breakfast or lunch how about doing this just what this guy did maybe that will be on the menu and if not ask for it anyways.Hey you never know you might leave there with a very full mind but make sure you leave a nice big tip for the waitress.

Naughty Fairy

My little fairy came to see me the other day she said she had been very naughty and bad.So i told her to come in and lets talk and see just what she thought she had done was so bad. As we made our way into the dining area she started telling me all the naughty thoughts she had been having as i listened she just kept talking which was unusual for her because she is normally a very quiet and private person.She told that she had been having thoughts of not being a fairy anymore told her that was fine and ask what she wanted to do said she wanted to try and wear diapers i looked her across the table and smiled told her that would be great also as we kept talking about her thoughts she decided she liked being a fairy because they are also sweet like.So that is the end of that until she thinks of something else she might want to be again.
