Hopes and Dreams

"If you get up one more time than you fall, you will make it through"  -Chinese Proverb
     I used to dream of being a beautiful ballerina dancing on stage, now I dream of just being able to dance again.
     I used to dream of being a rock star like Joan Jett. Now I just dream of singing while I do chores around the house.
     I used to dream of being thin and fit and running 5 miles a day. Now I dream of taking a walk to the end of the block with my grandchildren.
     I used to dream of having a fancy important job, Now I dream of being able to work one day in the future.
     I used to dream of having a bikini body, now I dream of walking on a beach in bare feet.
     
     I used to worry about having a clean, pretty house. Now I am thankful for any help I can get, or even being able to sweep the floor once in a while.
     I used to love to be able to hop in the car and drive. Now I look forward to the day I can drive.

     I used to think I had a lot of friends. Now I am so grateful for the GREAT friends that I have.
     Hopes and dreams can change. Life changes unexpectedly. I am so thankful to be here and I look forward to one day (soon) being able to do each thing listed above. I will forever be thankful for the little moments in life and not take them for granted.
