Abandoning a Dream?

I just looked back at the absence of things that I could've written about in 2010. The thought occured to me: am I abandoning a dream? The year, as others now gone by, has passed away before me. A mere moment, in a blink. 2010 is gone forever. Although I have undergone many changes, and endured many struggles, I know I am not alone in them. They are a part of our collective humanity. But, I have to ask myself: am I abandoning a dream?

What dream? Do I have only one? The answer is certainly no, not just one! There are so many more things to accomplish on my 'bucket list'. But the biggest, and certainly one that has burned the longest is that of writing. Of getting a message out to the world. Of putting my stamp out there. Of sharing my secret thoughts and ambitions; and of listening to the crowds of people that I have yet to meet -- and to call my friends.

Am I abandoning a dream? Will I let 2011 be yet another year go by without so much a whimper of words settled upon a page - even if only in the e-clouds? Will I continue to plod on with the stories, and works that float around in my head? Those that are but outlines on the pages of my years of journals? This can be the year. This is now a need.

Have you abandoned any dreams? Which ones will you resurrect? I would love to hear from you, my friend, that I just haven't met yet. God help me, and help you, to rekindle our dreams in 2011.
