Hi, all.
I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday evening. In a fabulous turn of events, my niece has learned to say my name, and I was blessed with an audio recording of it, so needless to say, I am pretty ecstatic.
Lesson of the Day: Be a dreamer.
If ever I couldn't think of or wish for something that was deemed implausible, I would be lost. While I don't run around protesting for world peace, which would be lovely, I find myself wishing for things that are pretty far fetched. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish all my students will turn all their work in and get an "A" or that Ellen/Oprah will come to their senses and ask me to be a part of their shows. I feel like wanting, wishing, or dreaming for something bigger ensures that we never settle. I know that Oprah and Ellen will one day find me, so I refuse to let my sense of humor tapper off into nothing.
Truly though, always be a dreamer. Wish and hope for things bigger and better than what you have now. It doesn't have to be materialistic things. Dream for things that will add to your life in other ways. I have this dream that one day my students will all think about what they say before they speak in order to ensure they don't hurt someone else in the class. I know it is asking a lot, but I keep the hope. I implore you to do the same.
What if? What if it was possible? That's what I always tell myself. I watch the impossible happen every day on TV. We conquered the moon, rallied a million people to march for equality, and watched that lead to an African American become president. Impossible is nothing. We can do absolutely anything if we just focus enough time and energy to it. This I am sure of.
I am off to dream now. I hope you do, too.
Go do good things,
BT
