Dream

World turns black and white "Pictures in an empty room Your love starts fallin' down Better change your tune Yeah, you reach for the golden ring Reach for the sky Baby, just spread your wings And get higher and higher Straight up we'll climb We'll get higher and higher Leave it all behind Run, run, run away Like a train runnin' off the track Got the truth bein' left behind Fall between the cracks Standin' on broken dreams Never losin' sight, ah Well, just spread your wings We'll get higher and higher Straight up we'll climb We'll get higher and higher Leave it all behind So baby, dry your eyes Save all the tears you've cried Oh, that's what dreams are made of 'Cause we belong In a world that must be strong Oh, that's what dreams are made of Yeah, we'll get higher and higher Straight up we'll climb Higher and higher Leave it all behind Oh, we'll get higher and higher Who knows what we'll find? So baby, dry your eyes Save all the tears you've cried Oh, that's what dreams are made of Oh baby, we belong In a world that must be strong Oh, that's what dreams are made of And in the end On dreams we will depend 'Cause that's what love is made of". Lyrics from Dreams by Van Halen Today is a good day. I painted my pink tree to this song. I love using the beat of the drums to paint each bud. I have always found music to be my savior in good times and bad. I have to admit not working the last five months was hard on my optimism. I was sinking. I became more quiet. I didn't want to paint or write as much. But, today I woke up to something totally out of my hands, with a good outcome. I was starting to doubt my stregnth, my faith and feeling pretty hopeless. And, the last few weeks I just let go of a lot of worry. I am still going through some things I am worried about. It is different, now. I feel like I am spreading my wings again. But, this time realizing I do have different seasons to my mood and feelings. And, that is alright. It is part of growing. Realizing nothing is permanent....NOTHING!!! That is a big one! Yes, nothing is black and white, there is a grey area in almost everything. And, just being accepting of everything. But, also taking action on what I can do, within my means,to make things be and feel better. I love this song, and seeing Valerie Bertinelli lately really struck a chord. She shares her crying and new love in her life, and it is very heartfelt. It made me feel very optimistic. And, of course, positive outcomes don't hurt either. If you are going through "something". Just keep on keeping on. Everything changes, revolves, evolves, grows....nothing really stays the same. Life would be really dull if it did.
