Once Upon a Dream

I think it's Sleeping Beauty who sings "I know you, I walked with you, once upon a dream..."  We all have those every now and then, entertaining thoughts of what might be, what could be, or what could have been.  But our choices lead us to here, to the present.  They are what makes us who we are.   And yes, there are consequences to go with our choices.  

When I was growing up, my momma would tell me "you made your bed, now lie in it."  I never liked that piece of advice.  But as usual, Momma was right.  What we choose is how it's supposed to be.  If we make other choices, new choices, in order to effect change... well, hopefully they're good choices, the right choices.  Dad would use the phrase "shit, or get off the pot..."  if we couldn't decide.  Well.  Yeah.  Thanks Dad! hehehe

In the long run, however, 
we each have our own paths to walk, 
our own way to find. 
I hope you find yours, my friend.  

It's Sunday night, 
the end of the weekend that was 
my own "once upon a dream..." 
Time to let it go.
To find a new dream.

And If you're following along, then yes, I decided to take my own advice!!! I sliced and tattered a nightgown, never to be worn.  Because some reminders are just too hard to bear.  Maybe this will be a new beginning :)
