Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.
This week's set is about dreams coming true.
When I was younger, I rode the wave of creative expression with gusto. I acted, I sang, I danced, I stage managed, I operated camera, I assistant directed, I wrote, I directed.
I had no way of knowing what was in store for me. No one does. Life always throws curve balls at everyone's plans, and my life has been no exception.
I went through a lengthy period that really tested my resolve. Ultimately I have to say that life crushed my belief in dreams for a time.
Looking back, there must have been a tiny kernel of hope nestled somewhere among the ruins. Otherwise, why would I have kept trying?
Here's to the power of dreams. In only one year since regaining my belief in my own dreams, so much has changed for me. I wish the same for any of you who may be struggling with a similar lack of faith in dreams.
1 - Dream On - Aerosmith
2 - What You Waiting For - Gwen Stefani
3 - Making Our Dreams Come True - Cyndi Grecco
4 - When You Wish Upon a Star - Cliff Edwards
5 - A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes - Ilene Woods
Wonderful theme with a particular favorite "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes".
ReplyDeleteit has been a while since I hears Dream On by Aerosmith.thanks for picking it.Big Time Hug.
ReplyDeleteI find sometimes that the dream I dreamed may not have exactly hit on all elements, but it may have led to a better result than the original dream.
ReplyDeleteOr something like that.
Dreams may be put on hold and even gather dust on a shelf, but they should never be thrown away. We never know for sure when the time will come for us to act upon those set aside dreams.

Tossing It Out
Great picks, Julia, and a great theme. There are times in life when all we have is our dreams, but we can't let them go.
