Waiting for us. The New Bedlam Farm.  Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote that we don’t give up on dreams because we get old. We get old because we give up on our dreams. Wallace Stegner wrote that you has nothing to do with chronological age. It is about times of hope and happiness.

People who talk about this economy are getting old. People who say “at our age” are old. People who say
isn’t it awful to get old” are old. Some of the youngest people I know are in their 70’s and 80’s and I know so many young people who aging beyond measure.

I never stop dreaming. Every day I dream of what is ahead of me. The books I will write, the photos I will take, the love I will offer to Maria every day of our lives together. My work with the dogs, my love for the donkeys, the things I have to learn, the experiences I have not yet had, the friends I have not yet made.

There is no point in our lives when we cannot experience growth, rebirth and change. A new home signals great change, is the manifestation of dreams, is a time of hope and happiness.
