I can't imagine not having dreams and actually striving to reach them. People who do not dream will never know the joy of reaching their dreams. (Funny, I am planning a very similar post to this one. I promise, I'm not copying! :))Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-66090784904902193422016-01-19T10:26:31.525-05:002016-01-19T10:26:31.525-05:00I agree, Pam, about being a wife and mother.

My gift to myself. LOL Then I decided that if my dream was ever going to come true, I had to change my priorities. Now I write almost every DAY and have two published books. Yes, dreams do come true, but often they don't just happen.

The older I got, the more my daydreaming turned into premonitions of disaster. It's no wonder I write suspense. :-) When King delivered that speech, he put action behind his words.

We have yet to see how that plays out. I do love to travel, but I'm pretty much content to just sit with my laptop and write. I guess my dream now is to retire from my day job and have more time to dedicate to my writing.
