Chasing Dreams

Talk about a special moment.  Walking around Stanley Park gave time to ponder things on the way to beach front and touch the water.

The view was breath taking.  To think I was watching the sun set at the very edge of the country.  I have seen several sunsets but his one seem surreal.  This provided a good opportunity to pull out my note book and pen and beginning casting the next vision/dream to chase while I waited for the sun to set.  I had a good 2 hours of waiting on my hands.  I wrote out some of the ideas I have been working on the last week which really have been in process for several months.  I drafted up a list of next steps to work through when I get back to Ontario.  Spent a while evaluating priorities over the last year and staring to think through how those will look after the games.  I could elaborate on where I am at on the few big questions I set out to find answers to before I left for Vancouver but no point until I have come to any concrete decisions.

Why do I share this?  Well honestly as much as it did come about rather quickly to come to the Games (I only booked flight in early November, accommodations early December, and events mid December)  the dream of coming to Vancouver started several years ago.  I had made plans for last summer but those did not work out.  Yes I have had the courage or foolishness to pursue various dreams but I did have to spend time thinking through and nourishing them as well.  A regular follower of chasingdreams.ca messaged me about how she is beginning to think through going after her own dreams.  I emailed her and told her to go after them if that is what she feels like she needs to do.  The broadcasters have talked about how the athletes have worked hard to get the opportunity to pursue their dreams at the games.  Any thoughts?
