Don’t Quit Your Daydream.
It may be just what gets you through the day.
Travel in your mind on sunbeams and moonbeams
to bright and breathtaking destinations of wonderment.
Soar by the wings of your seeking soul
among the twinkling stars and zooming comets.
Give your heart swift, light feet
to scamper through golden fields and slide on frozen streams.
Swing freely in the balmy breeze among blue butterflies
fluttering through clouds made of cotton candy and snow cones.
Some say “Don’t Quit Your Day Job,”
but I say “Don’t Quit Your Daydream!”
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Sometimes, we SHOULD quit our day jobs! I like “Don’t quit your daydream” much better!

so so many – all simply revolving around a happy, joy-filled life of purpose spreading kindness, seeking and recognizing cherished moments. For life is made up of moments, so I want to cherish them. And it is such a joy to spread kindness. I’m rather simple. But I dream of a world filled with kindness and love and joy.
