Pragmatism gives way to pagentry today.

A dream is a wish your heart makes." - Cinderella

So no one has ever, EVER, accused me of being overly sentimental or whimsical (and I don't see that as a bad thing). But this morning in the wee hours, I , along with millions of others, was seated in front of the TV, tea in one hand freshly baked scone in the other, watching a modern day fairytale unfold. Not only that, but I found myself projecting all the good vibes I could muster that early in the morning, to the next King and Queen of England for a long and HAPPY life together. .... weird, I know! I WANT them to prove all the nay-sayers wrong. To show the world that fairtales can come true.

Does this mean that I will start crying at movies - I doubt it (although those old Bell ads got me every time). Am I going to trade in my logic and intuition that drive my thinking for a softer, more emotional approach to life - definitely not. But what today has reminded me, and that I will keep tucked away for when my kids start making their way into the world - dating, careers, etc -  is that dreams, no matter how "out there" or based in fairytales they are, can come true ... just ask Wills and Kate.
