Say Cheese

I can’t remember my 7th grade science teacher’s name, but I do recall an adventure she took during the summer break. She went to Africa on a photo safari. She told us all about it and I was mesmerized as she took us along on her trip of a lifetime. As she spoke, I said to myself that one day I would also take a photo safari.

It never happened. And, at 79 ½ I know even if I won the lottery I wouldn’t make it to Africa. Surprisingly I am not sad, because one thing I have learned is that sometimes having a dream is enough.
