I was just reading other peeps blogs on another site, and someone made this comment,"Don't take away someone's dream, it may be all they have!"
Dreams are our positive attitudes that keeps us going forward in this bleek time we are going through right now.....financially...spiritually....emotionally..and perhaps even physically! although some of us may be having problems in more than one of these areas...we all know what it is to be down and need to be lifted up by other people, especially when we can't reach our own boot-straps anymore! 
I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired! And I am so overwhelmed with my surroundings (physically) and yes I know it is my own fault that I let it get to be this way...I beat myself up constantly..so don't need stones from others to weigh me down in that area! Especially those words "If you'd only...." and "Why don't you...." as if I have never thought about many ways to possibly solve my problems.....but I know things my "fixers" have not even a clue to remove before their "advice" would even be workable.
I am in an isolated small town in which people here are in cliques according to their race, income, or profession, or to whom they are related or have done favors for and hold the ticket that says "Get out of jail free!" with no consequences. I am, on the otherhand,an outsider who purchased a house here and can not get out of Dodge! 
My family is in California...my sister, my daughter, and my mama who is dying at this moment and I can not go to her fbecause of no place to stay since my sister and daughter have "their own lives to live" and I am in the way...(long story!...lol).I also broke it off recently with a romantic interest for which I thought was going somewhere longterm since our short term romance was so wonderful. But he is a "committment phobe" and has found "another woman "closer...because he is a MAN and has needs!  Well pfssst! So do I!!!  
I escaped and went on an "adventure" to fulfill a dream with my best friend only to be told that I was "too old" and that any romantic relationship would be an "unnatural one"... Was traumatic since it reeked of the same "pretend everything is ok" attitude I had to project when pregnant with my only child and her father refused to believe the child was his....after all I was wife number 5 and he had never had kids before!!! 
I escape to cyberland and still believe here are good people out there...over the rainbow of cyberspace perhaps?  It is a place where, if you are careful, one can find support for the ills that befall one!
I have to defend myself for being on the computer instead of "working on things that SHOULD be done!"  I KNOW that being here is my lifeline to sanity! So....if I am here...so be it! Perhaps something I say will help someone else who is going thru something similiar and I will make a new friend....a REAL friend whether we ever see each other in person or not!
I dream of making a "connection" with a man who will adore me as much as I adore him...one who is proud to be a part of my life...not just to be in it to get something from me! It is terrible to feel used....it is a form of abuse! I am a diamond and phooy on those men who chase costume jewelry that sparkles!
I have my dream...as does everyone...don't try to take mine away....it may be the only thing that is keeping me going and going again and again....

I like the remark, "Don't take away someone's dream, it may be all they have!" and yet that is exactly what happens here in blog land all the time. You have those that are so supportive, and then you have the ones whose only joy in life is to try and steal the dreams and aspirations of some of the bloggers here on MD. I truly feel sorry for them because it seems they have nothing better to do that make other's lives miserable

Wonderful blog, we need more encouraging blogs and less of those who like to throw stones and slurs. Writing is therapy to some and socializing to others. Still entertainment to many and sometimes the only form of friendship from being lonely to some. Don't steal their joy or bring them hardship. This is the season to bring friends and family together and sometimes it brings out the most lonely times too. Highest time for suicide they say as well as it reflects how lonely some are. We need to remember that. Take care Lost

A very good blog !
And I add that in addition to your hopes and dreams, you have a good head, and a good heart, and they will make your dreams become realities.

Very good blog, indeed! Without hopes and dreams, we are but a mere existence. Yikes! I hope that makes sense. I know what I mean.............philosophically speaking.

we all seek hope, in a hopeless world... around the holidays people seem to turn nastier, and meaner, when their own disatisfaction drives them to hurt others....

Ah, been there and done that! Small low vibratory town, even sick Mom except I stayed there at her house her last two days on Earth. Bad running car so caught the bus there to see her. It will get better. Consider it the tempering of the steel inside you.
Other possible outlooks...
My angels go before and after me. I am safe and protected where ever I go.
In the midst of Chaos, I have my Peace wrapped securely around me. I take my Peace with me, where ever I go. It shields me, completely.
Everything I need and desire is within me. I am One with My Higher Power. I manifest my Dreams outside of me in my personal expression, easily and effortlessly. NOTHING and no one can withstand my Power Within.
The Spirit within me moves ALL obstacles out of my Path. I am Invincible.
I am Loved, I AM Love. I Love and accept and forgive myself and all others. I am ONE with Love.
 
Hang in there. You, too can do it.
