Here’s where we all share a quote, one that inspires you or makes you laugh, one that you just heard and had to share, one that might just make your skirt fly up. And you know what? Hopefully we’ll all make some new bloggy friends in the process! (Citar = to quote in Spanish)
“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans. Aim high in hope and work. Remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.”
~Daniel H. Burnham
Taking a deep breathe mid-stride in this busy-but-wonderful weekend of celebrations and making plans, big plans, of cleaning and purging and prepping for an exchange with the girls tomorrow of our closet items that lay dormant. And I’m wondering at what point tonight I’m going crash because today my eyes were wide open at 4:20 AM… in case you read that wrong, that’s 4:20 IN THE MORNING and I’m not a morning person… reminding me of the days we had a school trip to Cedar Point (the roller coaster capital of the world) and I was giddy with anticipation, nervous as all get-out about the roller coasters and couldn’t sleep, ’cause ya’ll know how I feel about heights by now. My eyes? They wouldn’t close. My mind? Racing. My blood has been a stirrin’ and so is a big ole’ pot of dreams. That’s the beauty of vision, it makes you seek something bigger than yourself, something that will live on. It hits you when, in the middle of the day’s plans a friend needs you and you chuck those plans out the window to just be there, to love, to help. Vision never sleeps, it grows and stretches and develops into something amazing when properly nourished, and when ready, births a thing that is so much more than dreams predicted.
So while living and enjoying the beauty of the in-between, the small moments that in themselves are something to be celebrated, dare to dream. Make plans. Big plans.
