Chasing Dreams Sometimes Isn't What We Expect

I just finished watching “The Rookie,” the story of Jim Morris who got a chance to live his dream of being a major league baseball pitcher long after he had given up on that dream.

It is one of my favorite movies and chokes me up every time I see it.

It got me to thinking about my dreams.

I talked about some of that regarding my journalism career in a previous blog.

While I had dreams and aspirations in journalism that may not have been fulfilled as I had envisioned in college, nonetheless I don’t feel that my aspirations were truly unfulfilled. Those dreams were just fulfilled differently than I had perceived as a young man.

I’ve learned that life’s dreams also are not narrow, at least for me.

There have been two constants in my life since I was a child: music and photography.
