In continuation with...

my blog of October 20...

Talking about unanswered dreams and prayers, I came across this wonderful line from a favorite book that I frequently dip into: The Bridges of Madison County.

When Francesca tells Robert Kincaid that though her present life is good, 'it's not what I dreamed about as a girl,' he shares a thought that came to him while he was driving. It went like this: The old dreams were good dreams; they didn't work out, but I'm glad I had them.

And, at another point he says, 'The reality is not exactly what we want the song to be, but it's not a bad song.'

Uplifting thoughts, especially when the days look bleak.
