A toast to dreams

I wish for a day where my dreams do not change for each day of the week.

But perhaps I do not.

Because some days I wish for a future where I am always busy, in a city that sleeps even less than I do.

Other days where all I wish for is a quiet life in the French countryside, where my only worry is what I will wear to water my garden.

Yes, these ideas are both fanciful, but it is so much fun to be able to dream mindlessly.

So, a toast to dreams that change daily and to people that do too.

  • Green

    When I think of the color green, I think of the trees behind my school. In kindergarten, when kids were cruel and words hurt more than sticks or stones, the trees were there.

  • I made tea

    I made tea this morning.

    I put the leaves in, watching the steam dance with childlike wonder.

    I returned to my laptop, staring at a half finished chapter, the bags under my eyes more apparent than ever.
