A Dream Come True

It's amazing when it happens. When something you've been dreaming actually comes true. And it's no longer a dream, but a dream come true. I love those moments. And while I wish they happened more often, I know that it's probably better that they don't. Because they are rare. And things that are rare are cherished. And I like knowing that I won't take them for granted when they do happen.

As you know, I read a lot. And I always have. And ever since I was a little girl, I've been dreaming about Prince Edward Island (PEI) because that is where Anne of Green Gables grew up. And Anne wasn't just a character in a book for me. She is a kindred spirit. And I've held on to that even as an adult. I quote her -- 'Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it' -- and I try to emulate her sense of childlike fascination with the world.

So, you can imagine my excitement when we decided to visit PEI for the very first time at the end of the summer (I know, I'm late on this post, but it's been a busy fall! *smile*). I couldn't believe my dream was actually becoming my dream come true.

I cried when I saw the red cliffs of PEI from our car for the very first time...
To dreaming. And to having those dreams come true.

I wish for you that they do.
