Even if it was just for a week. As a kid I loved to act and of course I dreamed about that. But most of my fantasies, then and now, have had to do with (surprise!) being published.

I've daydreamed about having my own cooking show, olympic ice skating (I can barely keep upright, much less go backwards or turn around), being a doctor selflessly serving in some third world country (turns out, I'm not that Lisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-9522328796672451412010-08-18T08:30:07.099-04:002010-08-18T08:30:07.099-04:00One enduring dream of my youth spilled into my adu...One enduring dream of my youth spilled into my adult years and that was to be 'content'.

And I was never so dedicated that I swam outside in winter (in Canada!).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story, actual and imagined, and the eternal perspective to keep it real.Wenda Dottridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086728367896516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-2633544162780888892010-08-18T01:27:15.586-04:002010-08-18T01:27:15.586-04:00Thanks for a fun post, Dan.
