dreams

I have some strange dreams.
I remember having one last night but for the life of me now I can’t remember what it was about.
Weird huh?

At any rate I think back to my childhood and I remember being asked
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
and at the time I thought the teaching profession seemed glamorous and that was what I wanted to do.
Not sure when it switched to being a nurse, but at some point it did.

I still think about nursing school.
I am 48 years old and it seems a bit old to think about going back to school, however I do still think of about it.
The main thing keeping me from pursuing this dream is money.
Or lack of.
It would cost me at least $16,000 to go to college, and that doesn’t include trying to work full-time and trying to go to school full-time.
I just don’t think I have it in me.
Something would get missed….something would suffer and I’m sure it would be my relationships with my grandchildren.

I still dream.
I tend to-day dream a lot more than I ever use to….
And I often think….oh if only …….
I suppose that is my mother in me.

However I don’t think it hurts to dream.
I actually think it is healthy in many ways…..
