Dreaming in Detail

By: Colleen Cook, BSCI

For my birthday a few months ago, my husband of 29 years bought me personalized license plates: ASPR HR. I am sure that it confuses some, but not those who know me well. The letters stand for “Aspire Higher” and I guess you could say that is my mantra. I am a pie in the sky, nothing is impossible, reach for the stars, dream big dreams kind of gal.

Many years ago I adopted the belief that “It costs no more to dream a big dream than it does to dream a little dream” so I began to dream BIG and in great detail.

My husband, bless his genuine heart, is really quite the opposite. He is grounded, logical and his focus is usually on what he can do TODAY to make life better for us and our family. He doesn’t spend time dreaming of places to go or things to do down the road. So imagine my surprise when he began to ask me why the plans for our future cabin did not include a large walk in pantry! “What?” I exclaimed, “I can’t believe it! You are doing it! You are dreaming in detail!”

You see for years, I have had a very clear vision of my dream home. I found the blue prints for our beautiful mountain cabin about 6 years ago and I think about it often; in detail. And boy, am I excited about it now. Just imagine what might happen as a result of BOTH of us DREAMING IN DETAIL! Stay tuned
