For anyone who needs a pick-me-up today . . .

I read this on a blog one day and found it inspiring. I thought you might, too.

"As we stopped off the side of the road to take some scenic pictures the next day, another car had parked 50 feet or so away from us. Two men got out of the car and began unloading their road biking gear. As we looked around at the scenery, I turned around in time to see the two men on their bikes begin climbing the fairly steep road up the canyon. I smiled and called out, "you're braver souls than I!"



One biker man smiled and called back out,
still pedaling, "You could do it too!"

I snorted and countered, "Yeah right! In my dreams."

Then the biker, almost out of earshot, called out without looking back,
"So dream!""

now granted not all of us WANT to ride a bike up a hill
but how many things that we might want to try
that there's an inkling of desire to experience
do you we say, "only in my dreams" to?

I vote we all take this advice and Dream.

What dream will you strive to achieve this summer?

Good advice! Wouldn't it be sad if we just dreamed our lives away, instead of getting out of our comfort zones and trying tings?

Great story! Dream, and then make it happen! :)
