A Pocketful of Dreams
The Great Outdoors Attire - Coat by Trespass, Trousers and Shoes by Karrimor, Headband and scarf sent from the enchanting Sophie ♥
This was such a blissful day in the Peak District, a day which was completely carefree, doing the things I love - and totally uplifting and thrilling.
Dreams have always played a part in
my life – even in my toughest years, and pre-adulthood, I was a keen dreamer.
I was always so reserved and quiet
for so long – and hid my own achievements, but with age (ultimately),
my weight loss journey, travelling and seeing the world and getting married to my absolute rock of a
husband I feel I can finally be proud of what I have in life.
That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped
dreaming – I have more tailored dreams now, with much more structure, possibility,
yet still with enough whimsicality to make them fuelling, exciting and within reach (almost).
The biggest problem with dreams is
that sometimes we all have the same ones. Being questioned about why you have succeeded in something
or grasped an opportunity is a tough one to answer. For a second
it can make you flutter, but then you remember just how tough it
was to get here, and that you don't at all for a second take a moment of your life for granted.
Lovely post Alice, I can see that you and I have similar taste in spending time in the great outdoors.
ReplyDeleteDreams are a funny one. I'm not a dreamer at all. It's not my style. I'm a realist and don't like to ponder much beyond my busy bubble.
I kind of envy those who know what they want to achieve, or be or just do, it must be exciting.
Thanks for the mention xx
Aww Sophie, you know dreams are a funny one indeed and I do think they mean different things to different people. Rightly so, I think small dreams (be it about clothes or an exciting dream purchase can equally be as fuelling as the BIG ones, career etc.)
DeleteOne of my dreams - was to find a friend in you, and I did just that. Don't you know it, you inspire me day in, day out. I often think of you.
Never, ever give up on dreaming Sophie. x x x
Totally in your element, love it:-) X
ReplyDeleteDreams are funny things aren't they? Love that you are working towards yours :)

Dreams are amazing. I'm so happy to see that you're on such a good path at the moment and making the most of life because life really is fantastic! I'm on a similar journey myself. It feels so good to shed the bad, realise those dreams and make magic happen x
