DREAMS

 I have dreams which are renewed on a daily basis. There are dreams that I can attain by working hard to make them come true. There are others that I wish for the people on Earth. In my opinion, dreams are what keep us going and getting out of bed in the morning. If you do not have a dream, what is the use of being alive?

One of my dreams is that people become kinder to one another. I try to make this come true by being kind to people no matter how shut down they may be. Using simple greetings and expressions such as thank you, good morning, excuse me, hello, goodbye, I’m sorry, etc. can help make this dream come true. By planting the seed of kindness as I go by can transform people who will be able to spread kindness also.

Another dream is that people start cherishing and appreciating what really matters in the world instead of material things and money. I believe that what really matters is the people around you no matter creed, race, or preferences in general. Don’t get me wrong, material things and money is also necessary to live a comfortable life, but what I have seen are people working more and not spending quality time with family and friends just to make a lot of money to buy expensive brand mark items. I have also heard other people mention this as their dream also. Perhaps by working together as a group and making changes in our own private lives these dreams, and many more, may come true.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

 

          Sometimes it seems like the sky is crumbling down on your head; the ground is opening up and you are being swallowed by the bottomless hole. You drop down, down, so far down. And when you think you cannot sink any deeper, sadly, you do.

Then, from very far away, you hear a voice whisper:  Hang on! The best is yet to come! It is a whisper because you are so deep in the pit that all the positive words seem to reach your ears as a fine whisper; soft and almost inaudible. The faint voice, which might belong to someone you know and love or a complete stranger, repeats the expression so many times so as to make it sink in your heart; brand it on your soul like a hot iron. However, first it goes into one year and out the other. The words make no sense at all at first because how can you expect the best when all you see is the worst.

          All of this changes when you are in the opposite situation; when you are at the top of the hole and someone is down at the bottom. So deep down that you can barely see them, and you scream from the top of your lungs: Hey, the best is yet to come! Hang on! Don't give up! I can assure you the best is yet to come! You have been in that sad situation before and you know that even though it seems like it's a bottomless pit that you have fallen into, you will eventually be able to climb out of it , one step at a time and enjoy what is on the outside.

          So, if by any chance one day you fall into that hole again, remember the best is yet to come no matter how long it takes.

An Angel at the Bank

An Angel in the Bank

Mask on. In line at the bank keeping her feet on the marked spaces in order to keep socially distant. Mind wandering in what the future will bring. So many issues had to be resolved. I am the owner to an institution that trains people to care for the elderly. Startled she looked at the elegantly dressed woman in her 60s. Pardon me? Were you speaking to me? Yes, I said that I train people to care for the elderly. You do. That´s astonishing. (Astonishing because that was what the young girls was thinking about as she waited her turn to move along the line.)  Do you have a business card? I just teach people. I do not own an agency. I understand that, but you can recommend someone, can´t you? Yes, for sure. But I do not have any cards on me.  You know what, check my website, Doracare and send me a message. My name is Regina. Regina, the queen, the young girl thought. She was wondering how on earth that woman had read her mind. Do you recommend people according to their neighborhood? Certainly. It is the best thing nowadays with the covid-19 virus lurking around. If some one lives closer to the elder, it is the best deal.

The line moved along and as she walked into the agency; the young girl let out a cry lifting a heavy load off her shoulders. God is good. Always. Get in touch when you need the helper. I will. Thank you!

With that, each one when on with their errands.

Fire...We´re on Fire

 

It has been so hot lately in the southern hemisphere.

There are those who are grateful for the heat in the 30´s C near 40´s.

There are others who are aware that it is only but Spring.

Forests and farmlands are on fire.

All the creatures that live there are running for their lives.

Big hearted people are trying to help those whose paws have 3^rd degree burns.

Brave people are trying to control what is uncontrollable.

There is pain.

There are cries.

There are tears.

There are fires burning in the northern hemisphere.

Flames that perhaps started with a flick of a cigarette.

Brush fires that are spreading so quickly killing the livestock.

Hot red scorching blazes burning down million-dollar homes.

Ridding homeowners of their memories composed on photographs and sheets of paper.

Artwork melting off the walls; all colors turning into ashes.

There is pain.

There are cries.

There are tears.

The world has a high fever.

Mother Nature is screaming for help.

The blue planet, which is made up of mostly water, is on fire.

It seems like Mars isn´t the only red planet in the universe.
