For me, writing was my "dream". And it became a reality when I discovered a way I could write without starving.
Not with photography. Although I was enthusiastic about it (and pretty good, I even taught 5th graders, which was a blast), I knew I'd never be a Brassai or Ansel Adams.
Third, there was the dream of becoming a ballerina. No competition for Margot Fonteyn, because when I twirled and swirled, the result was not pretty, passed out on the floor. (I had epilepsy, but that didn't diminish my dream)
How about you? What have you dreamed or achieved beyond your wildest dreams?

I wish you health
I wish you joy
I wish you peace.

Well, not exactly. You might be surprised. Or horrified to learn the truth.
How about your technician who's running the bypass machine texting during the procedure
Or the nurse checking airfares
And your neurosurgeon chatting away on a personal phone call?
That's right. Electronic devices have not only taken over our culture. They've taken over the operating room!
While some medical schools are teaching would-be doctors to use electronic devices - hopefully for diagnostic purposes - other medical staff prefer to check eBay.
It's a problem. And an epidemic.
For more details, see the report in The New York Times:

There's a catch. The extension is available only to seniors who seek official help with their decision by the close of business today, said a spokesman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.
And one other thing, the extension is only three days long
