I have a Dream...

Whenever I hear the speech, I get the chills. It must have been a powerful experience that sent chills all the way to their bones. The call to improve our world, equality for all, must have been earth shattering...equality regardless of race, gender, was an idea so revolutionary that people must have been shaken to the core.
I, too, have a dream...a dream where my son, the Cutest Boy, is given the same opportunities as those around him. That he is given the opportunity to show his strengths rather than be viewed by his limitations. I have a dream that he will have the opportunity to live alone and that he will live a long and productive life.
I have a dream that social justice for all is a reality.
Today's Gratitude: Today I am grateful for time. Although I didn't work in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, the extra day gave me an opportunity to sleep. Two people came over (one for tutoring, the other, my student teacher) to do work. I had the luxury of being able to ficus on that, so I can move forward...forward to create my own dreams, create dreams for my children, my students. Today's time allowed me to get things complete, rest and relax...a luxury not often given! I have faith that our world will continue to move forward...someday, MLK's dream will be true!
