Dreams

"Dreams are the touchstones of our character." Henry David Thoreau

I heard recently that Thoreau was jailed because of the stand he took in opposition for how the Native Americans were being treated.  I had not known that.  It takes courage to take a stand that is different from the norm.  It also takes courage to dream.  It is important as humans that we have something to look forward to.  What do you have to look forward to?  Caregiving can grind us down.  It is important to retain the ability to dream of the lives we want to have.
