Dreams and Heroes | Filed under General
It is the middle of the week, many of us have had new experiences and many of us will have them to look forward to. May you find the best for you in all of your experiences this week! That is a promise I made to myself so I hope it is one you can make as well. What is burning on the stove here at Always Victoria, stick around and find out. Today it will be Short n Sweet and no that is not Sweet n Sassy like I am.
We all have dreams and we all have heroes. However reality finds its way in and reminds us all so often of the here and now. These days nothing seems to slow me as I take those steps one at time over the stepping stones, each of you are with me as I remind Missy of her place. Who knows where this journey will take me over the next months but there is hope that has not been there before. I invite you along to share in the journey but you can go only so far and you will be responsible for your own cost.
Lyrics to a song that says so much.
Hero
Mariah Carey
There’s a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid of what you are
There’s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It’s a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time, you’ll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
I’ll be off to the city tomorrow so visit my friends and make certain you go over and wish Karen the best before she goes for surgery.
Remember Life Is Simply Good.

Your ’short n sweet’ posts hold more wisdom than some posters who utilize the entire contents of the dictionary, young lady.
God’s love to you.

The photo is breathtaking (I wish I were right there!!!) and the lyrics are powerful.
You are a wonderful friend, hero, and inspiration to me. Thank you isn’t a strong enough word to express my gratitude to you for all you do for me. Love you!!
Enjoy the time in the city… this is YOUR day and Missy can just sit quietly and mind her business elsewhere.

I had dreams once and reality stepped in…..
I wish I had dreams once again to chase.
Have fun in the city.

Your mountain view struck a nerve. Many of my best memories involve the mountains, both the Rockies in the Denver area and the volcanos of the Cascades. Just takes your breath away. You are my hero today. A moment in the mountains is inspiration beyond Belief.

I love your messages. And that song, Hero? I always sing along with it in the car and it always makes me get teary-eyed. I know it can seem a little corny but it’s oh so true.

When I see amazing landscapes like the one you posted, they remind me of ‘home’. My heart is never far from the mountains….so beautiful.
