{quotable thursdays}

Hello readers!
Yesterday was my birthday, and so I think this quote by the great C.S. Lewis is apt:

{never too old to dream}

I just got back from Portugal on Sunday and had a *fabulous* time. Such a lovely lovely place--pics etc... to follow. But today, I think we need to remind ourselves that we are never too old to dream--getting older in your 30s is less exciting than it was at 3! BUT with age comes confidence, knowledge, and a better sense of self. so today, I celebrate all the people in my life who have made me who I am...those who I know well; those who I have just met; and those who I may have encountered only very briefly...& of course the places where I have been. It's travel that enlivens me, and I know all those journeys & adventures have made me the person I am today. I feel blessed to have a loving family, loving friends, a good job & a roof over my head.

I have reached some of my goals, because I have chosen to dream, to believe, and to hope...& of course I continue to keep setting new goals...because new people & new places inspire me to dream!

{dream a little dream}
