I’m not the sort to store up broken dreams

In bins in the basement

Where I might accidentally find them again

While looking for something else one day.

 

No, I am a collector of happy hopeful dreams

That I keep, like marbles,

In glass jars on the window sill

Where the sunlight can catch them

And color my world,

Reminding me that impossible

Is only for those who don't try to achieve it.

I really like this! Maybe that is because I actually have a glass jar of marbles in my kitchen window.

Beautiful.

Colored marbles in the sun. What a lovely way to begin my week, with that thought in mind.

Today, I will make an effort to remember a happy moment whenever I can.

Bless you.

It is funny that today's theme in the 'Today on Gather post' is ulifting and never giving up. This post just fits that theme to a "T".
