Dream Catchers & Goal Getters

I've always lived in a dream. I have always been that girl who looks towards the future, who can't live happily in the "now" unless there's something to look forward to, to plan, to work towards.

You would think this makes me a goal-oriented person. I know that kind of person well, but goal-oriented, I am not. I see them, treading up the stairs and turning cement into dust, scurrying on their journey toward what they want. Their dreams, are plans.

I dream, and I plan, but the two never seem to connect. Where does that come from? How do we do things that terrify us if it isn't just this intrinsic characteristic that makes us a card carrying Go-Getter?

Well, I'm not sure. I have a feeling though, that I should be sure of the things I love doing, and that maybe the rest will fall into place, and I'll find the plan my dreams can be conscious of. At the very least, it is a good question.

I'm sure that there's a cat curled up against my leg, sleeping away a hell of a storm brewing outside. I am sure that I love using a camera to make a fraction of a second of a moment in my life live on eternally, or to view something in a way my eyes don't immediately understand. I am sure that I get great happiness from the harmony that can come from the juxtaposition of texture and color, and the therapy of stringing beads and making art. I am sure that I love the feeling of helping people, but that I mostly like to be alone. I am sure that I have come to believe in the strength of family, and the balance it takes to maintain it.

Above all else, I am certain that I am lucky, that I have already found what people spend their entire lives searching for, regardless of other successes.
