Dreams and Realities

Wow, what a day! Today, Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 is a day which will be a "foundation" day for many. A day that they will remember and turn to for belief in themselves, belief in a nation, belief in dreams. We all have received messages from other people that contained hurtful words for us. We've all been told at times that we have limitations, that we're unworthy, that we less than others. We've looked at ourselves as a nation before, seen injustice.. seen pain.. despair,.. seen waste and wondered if it really could be any different. We've also all had dreams, ideas in our heads that we wished could/would come true but then couldn't quite believe that they could become real.
Today, a dream has become real for all. Hurtful words that have been said for generations to people, just because they were born who they were now have been healed more. A nation who once believed that there was a right to own another's life, has let go of those ideas enough to show its faith in a person isn't limited by heritage, but the freedom is there for each to climb as high as their faith in themselves will take them. Reality is a dream, well, its closer now to the dream spoken of so beautifully over 40 years ago. Dreams, they are not fantasies that belong only in the realm of "make believe"... Dreams... they are tools to shape our lives into something we can and want to believe in!
