Day 335: Why do we forget?

Why, do we as humans, forget our dreams? or better....why do we stop striving after we have reached our dreams?

I really do not understand why we do that.

I have admitted in the past that my guilty pleasure is watching the reality show about the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. This week one of the veterans got cut because of poor attitude, too much weight gain and no improvement in dancing (actually she slid in her dance ability). This is a young woman who professed this was her dream - to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. She did it for one year, forgot how stiff the competition is and decided to coast? I just don't get it.

I don't get it when football players (professional) do not work out and practice in the off season. I don't get it when singers, actors or anyone else stops working at the thing that brings them a paycheck or the thing they profess is their dream. I don't get it.

I guess I don't get it because I don't have that big of dreams? Or maybe because I have always had to work hard for the things I can do? Or maybe....and really, I am sure this is the truth, I fall down in other areas, but just don't realize it? (but that is a different post for a different day.)

I get nervous that the closer I get to my one year deadline I will drop the ball and stop walking. It got very cold this week (tried to snow today!), I really have to convince myself that the thing to do is get up and go to the mall. I didn't think it was going to be that hard once the time came, but it is. I want to stay home where it is nice and warm. Sigh. I just remind myself that this is my goal and the children's P.E. - it is important. (Maybe tomorrow won't be quite so hard to go and do.)

Happy Walking!
