As a young man.......ive always had my dreams......i was never sure how i was ever gonna get there....but some way i just knew that one day id have them......all of them.....but then....things happen......choices are made and whatever happens then......you play out the hand that was dealt to you.....i think it was the way that i was raised that stopped me from becomming selfish and running away from everything i had created for myself.....youth tends to lie to us when we believe that everything is possible.......that it just takes time for it all to happen.......wisdom teaches us that what you have is what you have.....and it only comes with age......with a life that seems so preplanned.....is there any room for ones dreams........going through the motions each day......i find myself slipping deeper and deeper into what is.....is all its ever gonna be.......im sure it must be midlife talking here.....but sometimes i feel im just digging a hole for myself to one day climb into and be covered up........but then...out of nowhere comes a song on the radio.......out of the past......and it makes me believe that a few things are still possible.....maybe not everything that ive wanted......just a few of the really important things........and i guess thats what keeps me going......knowing that some how......some way.....ill get to where i want to be......do what i want to do.....and one day.....find out that the road to get there was well worth the travel......i guess its all up to me.....find happyness......or spend the rest of my life looking for it......my reward......my dad always called it......as bob segar always said.....when you realize......you just dont need it all......you just dont need it......all............cookie

I love, love, love this ...  I know exactly what you're talking about ... the moment you catch yourself saying "we should do this more often" knowing full well you probably won't for a long time ... the moment the day to day chores stop giving you a feeling of satisfaction because there's always more where they come from ... the moment the money goes out faster than it's coming in ... followed by the moment we lose someone important and realise life's too short to worry about stuff and grab every little bit of happiness even in the smallest way ... then the song on the radio that takes you back to times when things were good and you know anything's possible ... the moment we realise a hug can be taken for granted and not enjoyed to the fullest because it's always there, and how we would feel if suddenly it wasn't.

Cookie,
Music has a way that helps us deal with lifes drama. If it is a certain song, or band. It is feel good music to our sole.  I cant imagine a day without music.
Life has its up's and down's...but the songs, stay the same.

It amazes me how many times I am feeling low, unsure of what exactly I am feeling, then a song comes on the radio and spell it all out, sometimes the answer, too. And you know for sure, in that moment, that you aren't alone because for someone to have written a song with the same feelings, someone else was feeling the same thing.
If you can dream it, it is possible... hang on to them, go for them.... and be VERY patient while they are forming.

Anything is possible Cookie, but it's not just going to happen. You have to make it happen, it's entirely up to you. You don't need it all, but you don't want to get left standing on a bridge either now do you?
