What is a dream? It is anything I think should happen and which I, therefore, exert myself to make happen, whatever the odds against it. It is the college education I couldn't get when I was in my twenties but which I am now getting, one night course at a time. It is the new fountain in the garden that I take hours to dig after the regular workday is over. It is the new deck on the home. It is anything that takes an effort that is really no effort at all.

Nothing is as real as a dream.
The world can change around you,
but your dream will not.
Responsibilities need not erase it.
Duties need not obscure it.
Because the dream is within you,
no one can take it away.
~Tom Clancy
There is no age limit for dreamers.
They are simply the people
who keep making life better for themselves
and for everyone around them.
