The reservation that made me (almost) cry at work

It's now real.

Tangible.

Feasible.

Definite.

We. Are. Going. To. London!

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!

I am a grinning fool. I am a happy sap.. and this just adds to the wonderful dream that is my life. I told my daughter, Scout, the other day that there is no age limit to dreaming. One can never be too old, too young, too educated to dream.

Scout asked me how long I had been dreaming this dream. I could only tell her... "a long time". It was only recently that I had the courage to say this dream out loud. Previously, I thought telling people would only open myself to ridicule and mockery. In my little mind I thought people would scoff and say "Seriously? By yourself? You have no money, you have no car, you got no woman... so there you are..".oh wait... those are the lyrics to Bust A Move... A while back, many of my dreams were deferred. No thanks to a bad relationship with a crappy fella and my contentedness to remain under his shoe. I never had a reason to say things I wanted out loud because I felt that it was selfish to want something this longingly only for me.

I've got a fantastic life now and I have no reason to hold myself back from making my own dreams come true. Really... who else is going to make that dream a reality?

I am beyond happy. I have a good friend to share this adventure with and the positive fortune of sharing the excitement AND adventure with others.

We'll definitely keep you posted! :DxoxoEmma
