It's January...not that anything too exciting happens in January. It's actually my least favorite month out of the entire year. Although January can be dreary, one holiday of note that takes place within the cold, gray month is Martin Luther King Jr. day. This holiday occurs on every third Monday in January to honor the spokesman who made a huge impact on the Civil Rights movement. I never really thought much of this day. It was more of a "black person" holiday. Not to sound racist, but it was. Getting back to the main point . . . I came to realize just how important this day meant. One of King's most famous lines to any one of his speeches was "I have a dream." Four simple words that placed beside one another in a sentence invoke a sense of hope and freedom. Dreams are something that I can't seem to get away from. I just watched the new Disney movie "Tangled" the other night where Rapunzel sings about her dream to see the floating lights. I can't seem to get the Mamma Mia song, "I have a dream" out of my head either. I guess it got me thinking about what real dreams I have. Of course I have my dreams to travel and see the world. The only problem with that is it takes an extreme amount of money. Dr. Falwell would always say, "what would you try to accomplish if you knew you could not fail?" I have a hard time trying to answer that question. Start my own business maybe? For some reason I feel like I don't have the drive for that and after watching the government pretty much steal my father's self-owned businesses money I'm not sure I could handle the responsibility. What would I try if I knew I would succeed? Travel the world one country at a time.
