"Forgotten Dreams"

[6kids1man]

The other day as I was watching a music video, I found myself crying.......not a tear on my cheek crying but.......mascara running down my face crying. This lasted all day, one minute I was fine the next...crying. Now, I could not pinpoint exactly what it was that was making me this damn emotional!  Could it be PMS......no, pregnant.....no, sad......no not really, mid-life crisis........God I hope not!

    That night it came to me...............As a little girl, I had BIG dreams the world was mine, and I could be and do anything I wanted (at least that was what I was told) and never for a minute did I think those dreams would not come true! 

     But as we are all aware the inevitable happened and I started to grow up. As I grew, my dreams became smaller, and they came and went.........My "Forgotten Dreams"

     As I dug deeper, it hit me; there was that ONE dream.......forgotten, but never really gone.  What happened, how had I let so much of what was so important to me, be.......forgotten?

     After careful consideration, I came to this.....

 As we grow up and our lives change, we begin to start families and before we know it we are living day to day, minute to minute.  Our dreams change and become dreams of our children, husbands, wives, parents, bosses, grandchildren, the list goes on.  And while change is wonderful, with it comes chaos and........well "life;" I think we tend to forget that kid, whom we all started off as and we end up with "Forgotten Dreams."

     However,  as far as I know we have this one life, and I ask myself.........Why NOT remmember the "Forgotten Dreams."  Even if we remember and our dreams do not come true, do we not owe it to ourselves? To that child we once were?

   So I have made a vow to remember and if I die remembering, at least my dreams were forgotten no more........

 Whats your "Forgotten Dream?"
