Flight Attendants Prepare for Landing

Somewhere between Iron Mountain and home, I had a revelation. This has all been a holding pattern. Waiting. Flying in circles. Unable, or maybe unwilling, to truly put down roots.
Now we're ready to land. To establish ourselves as a married couple in a new city. To have the life we both want.
And in honor of this momentous occassion, I'm going to quote L.L. Cool J.
Seriously.
Last week, I saw him on the View (I know...WHY??) and he said something that has stuck with me ever since.
"Dreams don't have deadlines"
Think about it.
"Dreams don't have deadlines"
How often do we give up on dreams because it's taking too long? How often do we move on to something else because we're tired of rejection? How often do we do the easy thing?
Now granted, L.L. was talking about how he thinks it's okay to be approaching his 40s and still rapping....but I feel like this quote completely applies to my life.
My life as a wife.
My life as a news producer.
My life as a designer/artist/photographer.
Really, truly, seriously....MY DREAMS DON'T HAVE DEADLINES.
