I once was with somebody I liked very much -- an older person, when I was considerably younger than I am now. That person said, "Spend at least fifteen minutes a day weaving dreams. And if you weave a hundred, at least two of them will have a life." So continue with a dream and don't worry whether it can happen or not; weave it first. Many people have killed their dreams by figuring out whether they could do them or not before they dream them. So, if you're a first rate dreamer, dream it out - several of them - and then see what realities can come to make them happen, instead of saying, "Oh, my God. With this reality, what can I dream?
-Virginia Satir
I know that blogging aficionados don't approve of posts consisting of quotations - but I don't care! I came across this recently and thought it was great, so I'm sharing it with you.
I also think that there's an alternative way of ending it - 'with this dream, what reality can I create?'

hmmm . . . i love a good quote! Ms. Satir has left a fine legacy with these words.
i also love bloggers who use them and blog readers who appreciate them.
i've yet to cross paths with a blogging aficionado and i pray that such a "disapproving" one doesn't cross mine!
i use quotes liberally . . . sometimes someone else can say it much, much better!!!!
You are right to disregard such online conventions - a good quote is always worth sharing.

Very witty Lins - you should write a blog!
;-)
good one, gents, you gave me a chuckle! :D
keep goin' with the quotes... :)
Who needs afficionados anyway? (In other fields too, that is a valid question). Let's do what we want on our own blogs, which is surely the point of them being OURS.
annedroid,
you rebel, you!! ;)
