Dreams, Booze, Winding your way…

“He’s got this dream about buying some land
He’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands.” Gerry Rafferty

Dreams and visions. Dreams or visions. To me, a dream is ‘wouldn’t that be great?’ as distinguished from a vision, which is a goal with action steps to accomplish it.
O la la… I used to say to my mom, “How hard can it be?” She usually just kept peeling potatoes for dinner or mixing the bread dough. I now understand she knew trying to correct a teen-ager would be counterproductive. Life would provide the lessons.

“You used to think it was so easy. You used to think it was so easy.
But you’re trying, you’re trying now.”

My son recently reminded me of Gerry Rafferty’s great song, Baker Street. I had forgotten how much I loved it: Rafferty’s wisdom, insight, rhythm, and creativity.

“And when you wake up, it’s a new morning.
The sun is shining, it’s a new morning.
And you’re going, you’re going home.”

My vision: swim 9 miles by the end of October! Oui, je le ferai! as the French would say.
