Daydream Your Way to Happiness

It’s been raining here a lot lately, and I’ve found myself gazing out the window and daydreaming – just like I did when I was a child. Remember those days? Remember when you were a young girl, sitting in class and daydreaming? Your teacher probably told you to pay attention and stop daydreaming. Well, she was wrong. Okay, maybe she was right about not daydreaming in class but that’s it.

Daydreaming is fun, it’s relaxing and it expands who we are as women. When you daydream you allow your mind to just wander freely, letting yourself be or do anything you can imagine. Remember all those dreams you had growing up --maybe of being a ballerina, an Olympic gold medalist, a championship rider, an astronaut, a best-selling author. Well, maybe you didn’t achieve those dreams exactly as you wanted to in reality. But, then again, it’s not too late.

After all, it isn’t too late to take classes – to learn how to fly, to ice skate, to paint, to sing. It isn’t too late to go back to school and take those science, writing, math or computer courses. It’s never too late to expand your horizons and be that person you’ve always dreamed of being. You may not get exactly what you daydreamed about as a young girl, but you certainly can come close – or even soar beyond those wonderful dreams.

Maybe it’s time to let those dreams loose and see where they lead. Maybe it’s time to set that little girl you once were free so you can be the person you’ve always daydreamed you could be. And, just maybe, it’s time to dream some new dreams.
