Dreaming Dreams, And Then Some

Here's the story of Maisie DeVore, whose example of saving for a pool inspires me. Daring to dream a dream is the huge first step. But continuing to work tirelessly toward its fulfillment, in the face of seeming impossibility, is the part that eludes most of us. Many years ago, when he was a little boy, Jake dreamed of playing college basketball, and in a few weeks he'll head off to Virginia to begin doing just that. Maisie dreamed of building a swimming pool for the children in her town. See how she finally made that happen. Both remind me of the truth my mother always taught me: "Can't is a sluggard, too lazy to try."
