Dreams

Who says dreams cannot come true??? I am a fitting example of this - not just once but TWICE in the same day....

3 weeks ago, I was very fortunate to be able to fly up to Coffs Harbour on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia for a four day break.... during this break, I was able to get an amazing opportunity to do something that I will never forget. It was the second day of my four day break which I spent at the Pet Porpoise Pool - during that day, I got to have my dream of getting to interact with a dolphin for the first time come true... that was part one of the dream. The second part of this dream revolves around a certain dolphin in the Pet Porpoise Pool's dolphin family - that dolphin was a 7 year old female named Bella.

Maybe these fine words from English singer-songwriter, Charlie Landsborough, may make you understand what I am saying:
A Dream Or Two
Written and performed by Charlie Landsborough
If ever you're alone
And life becomes
A stone around your neck
And hard times beckon you
In your heart
Always carry a dream or two

Don't let the shadows creep
Into the hope that keeps
All fears at bay
And luck will favor you
In your heart
Always carry a dream or two

A dream is a magic boat
That keeps your soul afloat
A dreams a prayer the angels wrote
And only those with loving hearts can see
So open up your heart and dream with me

I'd gladly throw away
The gift that yesterday has given me
If only I could be with you
In my heart
I still carry a dream or two

A dream is a magic boat
That keeps your soul afloat
A dreams a prayer the angels wrote
And only those with loving hearts can see
So open up your heart and dream with me

I'd gladly throw away
The gift that yesterday has given me
If only I could be with you
In my heart
I still carry a dream or two

In my heart I still carry a dream of you
 
Also these words from Scottish singer, Isla Grant:
A Dream Come True
Written and performed by Isla Grant
CHORUS:
It's a dream come true, standing here, sharing time with you
It's not so very long ago, I thought I'd never see another show
But then I asked my Lord, to give me strength to face the world again
I prayed each night, don't let the music end
It's what I know, it's been my life, it's what I do
Give me hope and make my dreams come true

Every day I ask myself if I am dreaming
In my troubled mind I try to find a meaning
My world is filled with all kinds of confusion
Could this be real or just some sad illusion

Now it's been a long hard mountain for me to climb
Thoughts of giving up has happened many times
But always in my heart I guess I always knew
Without a song for me there's nothing left to do

It's a dream come true, standing here, sharing time with you
It's not so very long ago, I thought I'd never see another show
But then I asked my Lord, to give me strength to face the world again
I prayed each night, don't let the music end
It's what I know, it's been my life, it's what I do
Give me hope and make my dreams come true

INSTRUMENTAL

It's a dream come true, standing here, sharing time with you
It's not so very long ago, I thought I'd never see another show
But then I asked my Lord, to give me strength to face the world again
I prayed each night, don't let the music end
It's what I know, it's been my life, it's what I do
Give me hope and make my dreams come true

 Here's a video from Noel Flynn with the above song in it:



And for those who have not yet seen the photo of me and Bella, here it is:
