Thank you for joining me this evening. We are here to have a little fun, share ideas and talk like adults. The scenario that follows is not intended to resemble anyone I know. If it does it is purely coincidental. I hope my stories/questions are inviting enough that you will join in the conversation. With that being said lets have fun exchanging some words…..
A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Sometimes it feels like the dreams I have feels like they are drifting away. Feels like everything I want is so so far away. When those days happen I dig in and try harder and do what needs to be done!
I stay to myself, shut everyone out and talk to myself and God.
When things get rough and you feel like giving up what do you do?
I pray, pray, and pray some more. I talk to God every day throughout the day, but when things are rough I ask God for clarity and just trust Him. Some times just hearing the voice of a friend encourages me. I may not even tell them that I'm in that space. The time and laughter with them is helping and they don't even know the difference they're making. Lastly...my children. A hug from my daughters, a silly moment with them (and we have lots of those lol), or one of them rubbing my hair can give me everything I need to persevere and make it another day. Just love...in whatever way it manifests.
