should i, could i?

dreams...
sometimes i dream really weird things.
sometimes i feel like i am living a dream.
sometimes i feel like i've given up all my dreams.
dreams.
thoughts of a different kind of life... of what could have been.
i have this picture of me.
at the piano, singing.
i never thought i was any good.... any better than anyone out there.
i just like to sing.
it transforms me.
i like to do it for me.
i've been singing more lately... and i wish i could have gone for it.
now i find i am losing my talent. all this time it has been buried.... for so long... too long maybe.
should i keep dreaming?

Yes, of course, keep dreaming!! I highly doubt you are losing your talent. You have a piano in your home and recording equipment, so why do you have to stop dreaming? You should get auntie Laura to come and watch a movie with the kids and put them to bed so you and Evan can have some time to create in your garage. (yes I'm volunteering her) I have similar kinds of feelings sometimes, of what might have been, but don't forget the wonderful things you are doing right now with your family!!

Mi querida Clara Shumann, créeme, este tiempo se hace largo pero pasará y aún te quedará mucha vida, y voz, y talento para ofrecer al mundo lo que llevas dentro.
Es así, las mujeres en la época de crianza nos recogemos, nos replegamos sobre nuestros hijos, les damos todo, nos vaciamos. Debe ser así, yo creo que es justo y necesario. Pero ese vacío a su vez deja espacio para una calidad de sentimiento mucho más sublime. Y fíjate que yo estoy segura de que sabrás percibirlo y proyectarlo como nadie.

I agree with Sarah on this one. Go for it, especially since you have the recording equipment at your house.
