Question about time and DREAMS

Guess what? I have found out a wonderful thing. I have figured out time travel. I know it seems crazy but I think you will be excited when you see how it all works. First think back on your life. Do you have things you wish you could do over or things you wish you had never done at all? How about opportunities missed or hindsight? Think of this moment as a crossroads for yourself. Be honest and really think if you could go back in time and do something different, be something different, choose something different... would you do it? I know the canned response is... well I would not trade who I am now. What I have learned or what I have become. Ignore this thought knowing that with this crossroads you will have all the knowledge and experience you have gained but you could just do some things different. Do you think it could make some of your dreams come true? What are some of your dreams. I think most adults have forgotten what it is to dream. Reality can have a way of grounding us. Imagine for a minute that you can dream again. What are some of your dreams? There is nothing better than hearing peoples dreams. Not the ones you have a night but the ones where you get excited. Some of mine are... be an Olympic Figure Skater-- I love the sparkly costumes, the drama of the music, the strong flexible body I would have. A concert piano player-- I pretend sometimes that I never quit piano, that I followed my mothers advice and stuck with it, I also would wear a sparkly outfit to perform in and I would be able to express my emotions with music. Speak a foreign language-- I have a hard time with English, imagine conversing in a different tongue, many more words to describe feelings and record memories with when you speak more than one. Be a mother-- I know it is strange to ponder, I wonder if I could have done it, would my kids be little monsters, would they know who they were and be confident? Be a famous author-- this one would only work if I had used a nom de plume, I like my space to much to be famous where I have no privacy, but I would have liked to carry on the tradition of writing from my Grandma. Expert Chef-- You may know how this one is far fetched since I can't smell, but wouldn't it be neat to whip up healthy yummo meals? So WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR DREAMS? After I read a few of yours I will give the time travel key to all of you.

Hi Missy, log time no blog. Sorry I missed you last week is SL but I had a nice dinner and visit with Anthony, Salina and Aunt Sue. I love your lake Powell pictures and I too am so sad about the water levels. It does not even look like the same lake. Here are a few of my dreams; I would like to have graduated from college, I wish I had one of those singing voices that people would just melt when I sang and I wish I would have had 1 or 2 more kids.

Love this blog entry - got me thinking a bit. One of my dreams is to run a marathon. Another is to write a book (paper-crafting based). I also wish that I had a beautiful singing voice, could draw and paint, and that I could play the piano (like so many others I didn't stick to it when I was younger!)I wish that I had a green thumb and actually enjoyed yard work and gardening. I dream of one day becoming a morning person (may sound silly, but I am so much more productive when I am up early, it just doesn't come at all naturally to me!). And finally, one of my biggest dreams is to have a complete history (scrapbooks) of my family, myself and my ancestors.
