Post Dare to Sail

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.

And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.

Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing

what's in store

makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the

shores.

And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.

Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky.

I'll never reach my destination if I never try,

So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.

Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away.

To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today.

So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied.

Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.
--------------------------------------------------------------

-Garth Brooks, song "The River" co-written with Victoria Shaw


Love,



Sherry

I love that song and particularly the lyrics that remind me that life is a journey that can be as exciting or dull as I choose to let it. Dreams continue to come true for me and each day I set my sails for another adventure through beautiful waters.

Thanks, Storm, for beginning my day with good thoughts.

Hugs
