Do you know what one of my favorite Madonna songs is of all time?

“Promise to Try” from Like a Prayer; circa 1989. It almost makes me cry each time.

I was thinking today in and between my landscaping – and this came to me. A quick list.

No rhyme or reason for an explanation. This is just a start – but want to keep it simple at this point. These things may happen and they may not, they may mutate and change, and they are in no special order.

Dreams

To achieve a Ph.D.

To write a novel.

To write a nonfiction book.

To write a story in verse.

Help other dogs get adopted.

Travel to Europe (the Netherlands, Amsterdam, Germany, London again, and others).

Travel to Vancouver and Alaska.

Own a second property.

Work on a collaborative writing project.

See more plays.

Maybe foster in the future.

Teach at college level.

Stay well.

Always try and be a good and well-meaning person – to add:

Don’t be an ass.

Some of these things may be more goals rather than dreams – but I tried to focus more on the dreams. But – this is my list, who cares. What I like is that I wrote them down.

If I had children I would have a gigantic list for their goals and dreams – to help them meet their goals and dreams.

It might be fun for you to jot down some of your goals and dreams as well.

Good night, sleep tight.

Be well in your hearts.
