Burst bubbles & Rainbows
12/22/2006 9:11:41 AM


Each bubble births a tiny rainbow

I hope I didn't burst any bubbles with my last blog about fantasy and reality. I'm quite sure that there are many who do live out their fantasies. I was being a little tongue-in-cheek and exercised some wry humour. This is not to say that there is no truth in the message. As long as we distinguish between fantasy and reality and don't expect life to always measure up to the fantasy, we will remain grounded and may enjoy the fruits that life has to offer....and there are many. There is an expression often used in the service industry 'Promise less and deliver more'. We could play with that a bit and change it to 'Expect less and appreciate more'.  Please don't think that I'm saying 'Aim low.' We should always reach high and that is where dreams and fantasies play a crucial role. We would never achieve anything of any real value without them. We can't get anything we don't first reach for.

Look to the ends of the Universe. At the very least you will have seen the light of stars.

Happy Holidays to one and all!
