What Changed?

After I moved to Utah I was a wreck.  I was depressed, sad, and I felt hopeless.  I had created some dreams and I was so shocked when they didn't work out.  I felt hollow and without a purpose.  The fire of passion was missing from my life.  I didn't know what to do, and just went through the motions.  I wondered what to do with my life, and I kept coming up with nothing.  I remembered some things that I had done in the past that had brought me happiness.  So I bought a gym membership.  I knew that working out had made me feel better in the past.  I started taking vitamins that had helped.  I read books to my kids.  I tried to cook.  I contemplated taking depression medication and various other things, but nothing I did seemed to work.   I was missing something so vital, so important.

A dream.

And that's what changed.

Having a dream.

Dreams are so important, and I had stopped dreaming. 

I was visiting some wonderful friends about a month ago when they gave me something to dream about.  They told me about the HGTV Dream Home give away and how this year it's a home near Park City.  I knew that I probably didn't have a chance at winning, but I decided to check it out when I got back home. 

And boy it was amazing.

And more importantly, it gave me something to dream about.  It's close.  It's in the mountains surrounded by beautiful scenery.  I started to imagine what it would be like to live there. 

And that was the beginning of the change.

A Dream.
