As I have been reading from various blogs today with some frustration and some admiration this song came on from my playlist. I really like this song but it hit me kind of hard today. This has been a particularly rough political season and there have been lots of hurtful and nasty things said from every party and every supporter. Decisions have been made and now we all have to "Dream Big" only we can make a difference in our own lives and only we are responsible for whether we are truly happy or not. (we can blame unhappiness on others but it really is up to us.) It has been snowing here, I really don't like snow, I have lived with it for many years, but Mt. Timpanogos never looks prettier than it does with a brand new snow cap on top of it. May we all "Dream Big"

Dream Big

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes
'Cause better days are sure to come
And when you smile be sure to smile wide
Don't let them know that they have won
And when you walk, walk with pride
Don't show the hurt inside
Because the pain will soon be gone

And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
'Cause when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big

When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud
'Cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself
And it'll help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength
To help you carry on When the troubles come your way

And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
'Cause when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big

Why can't I read/listen/watch anything with out crying right now. I am really frustrated with the amount of water that has been coming out of my eyes lately.

I thought it was bad after Caleb, but it is worse still after Spencer. Welcome to mom brain/emotions!

Appreciate your thoughts and I am sorry to tell your girls but the hormone thing lasts longer than just the younger mother hood times, oh drats. Have had similar feelings.
May we all dream for good things and positive.
We can all be such a positive influencee for good and the sun will come out tomorrow.
