I Have a [New] Dream

Frustration, anger, fear and sadness are the result of an unmet need or desire.  For example when our need or safety is threatened by terrorism we feel fear; when our desire for a new car is thwarted we feel frustration.

For the past year my negativity has steadily increased. I have had to take a hard look at what it is I want out of life and to refocus my goals.

Old Dream: I had a dream that I would accomplish the 46 high peaks in the Adirondack's
New Dream: To spend as much time as I can really enjoying the Adirondack's

Old Dream: Keep the kids busy so their lives are enriched and they learn the value of hard work.
New Dream: Keep the kids happy so they live fully.  Help them set and reach their own goals.

Old Dream: To achieve the highest position I can in teaching.  Full time, well-paid, Master's degree, certification.
New Dream: To enjoy watching children learn and provide them with opportunities to grow. 

Jai Pausch, widow of Randy Pausch,  had followed her dreams and married the love of her life.  When that dream dissolved she was determined to move on, to love again, and to dream new dreams.
