Tuesday 4 Dreaming!

Dream.. Dream.. Dream

 

Welcome to Toni's Tuesday 4 friends!  

It's up early due to a busy weekend.

Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there

So dream, when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream

1. As evenings are long, temperatures drop and we have more time to dream and ponder, are you pondering or dreaming of anything right now?I hate to wish my life away, but I do long for the   spring and sunny,  warmer weather..  I long for  bulbs  bursting  up  from the ground and buds popping out on the trees!

2.  Day dreaming , singing, humming even, can lift your mood and change the entire state of your health.   Do you daydream or sing during the day ? Now that you know it can improve health will you try it?Now that you know it can improve health will you try it?  I do love to listen to music that  inspires   dreaming..  I have several  cd's of Dan Gibson, whose music is quite dreamy!  Click the link below to see  many of  Dan's  compositions and  listings..

3. Fess  up friends!   When you window gaze is it because you are nosy or because it's just so lovely outside?  We will still love you no matter what the answer.I  can  day dream  to distraction..  I guess many like my mom would say I've wasted a good amount of time  window gazing.  I think I was even scolded in elementary class  for the same! But I am  a  pretty creative person  and  I loved to write stories as a young lady,  so  I think it is probably reasonable that I spent  a good amount of time within myself  dreaming  of what could be! I still do, as a matter of fact!

4.Daydreams can become reality if they stir us to action.    Were there any times in your life when dreams came true?  As I consider this question the first thing that  came to mind was the fact that  God in His  majesty and good gifts   provided many opportunities for my life that I never even  considered  in my dreams..  I dreamed of adventures,   but never dreamed  I would actually live  a year in a foreign country  before I ever  began my life's work. It was a land of  castles and  marvelous  tales of  fantasy  from my youth,  and I got to  visit and  be a part of  them before I was 23..

That is just one way God worked in my life  offering me  the   reality of many such dreams I am sure I  visited as a youth!

We actually lived  right beside this  mountain range  called the Odenwald  which   was  the  area  where the  Brothers' Grimm lived and got so many ideas for their stories!  We could see this ruin from our  living room window!

  This is Frankenstein's Castle which Mary Shelley visited  and was so taken by the   horror story of the actual man who lived here  was compelled to write  her  own story  about the  site!  We arrived  at this castle  right at dusk and saw it    in it's most ghoulish setting..  We were the only ones  there at the time..   It was rather chilling as we had just read the true story of Dr. Frankenstein!
