Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness……or, nest #60!

After a week of negative energy, self-doubting and nearly letting the naysayers bring me down, I needed Daydream Nest number 60 to be left in a place that stood for everything this project is about.  To me, the heart of this project is simple.  Heck, it’s one of the most famous phrases in our Declaration of Independence.  Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  The freedom to follow you dreams, a life free to choose who and what you want to be, and the freedom to find your bliss.  We are all different, thank goodness. Our dreams are vast and unique.  Some dream to work on the top floor of an office, some dream of opening a coffee shop and serving up a perfect frothy espresso, some dream of bouncing a giggling baby on their knee.  Some dreams are grand, and some dreams are quite simple. Everyone’s dream is equally important.  If someone is striving to be what they want to be, whatever that is, I cherish them.  This project is for them.  It isn’t easy to stick to your path and make your dreams a reality.  There are people along the journey that have forgotten their passion, given up on dreaming.  This project is for them, too.  Benjamin Franklin said, “The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.”  Don’t give up.  Don’t give in.   Nest number 60 lies near a symbol of what this country was founded on, The Liberty Bell.  If you find Daydream Nest number 60, remember, we aren’t perfect, we all stumble along the way.  Geez, even the bell got a crack, but it kept on ringing.
