Like, everyone in America has the same dream and we all know that this is so untrue.<BR/>Southern American Dreamers may dream about grits and george w and oil and sweet tea and driving around in pickuptrucks. the Eastern American Dreamers may be all about n.y. or boston or Jersey - or perhaps the perfect crab from maine. SouthWesterm dreamers want a nice rain, a weekend in Taos and not as many snow birds taking up the good land. NorthWestern dreamers perhaps want a good pair of shoes, some blue sky and less californicating. <BR/>Here in Bigfork the dream is much more simple. i long for Spring to arrive so my girls can play outside and shake out the cabin fever. i hope the bears sleep in this season so i don't have to worry about what goes in my garbage can and i hope they won't be too hungry for 5 or 9 year old little snacks. i dream that my husband will be more romantic this year, that maybe we'll actually have more than one semiannual "date." i dream that i'll find a job that i like, that i'm good at, and that makes me feel cool enough to be Julie's friend.<BR/>Fawn may be cool enough to follow in her footsteps - even though you may think that Lane Bryant girls might not do those kind of things... i'm with you on that notion. the question is, do you want to impress her for some particular reason? Is running the dirty half worth the thousands it would cost for knee replacement? Is the running away from something? That's why i dont run...for me it's completely symbolic. I have run away from stuff my entire life - i've decided that not running is action enough for me. i'm taking a stance. i'm being still. i'm listening for that still quiet voice. so far, i haven't heard a word.Lost in Montana/Found in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115619067200784028noreply@blogger.com
