Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, 78-year-old president of Liberia, is one of the BBC's 100 women 2017. Her quote is: If your dreams don't scare you they are not big enough.
As long as it's not the dream I had last night where it was Christmas Eve and I realised I'd forgotten to get sprouts. Oh and a turkey. That was scary.
But I guess those aren't the sort of dreams she means.
I've always been a great dreamer but without having specific dreams, unless you count wanting to be a writer, and that's not very scary. The constant rejections are depressing but not scary and I don't think the fame and fortune of being a published novelist would be scary either. I'm a bit too much of a wimp to have dreams that scare me.
I've never wanted to climb Everest, sail the seas alone, or ... you see, I can't even think of anything I don't want to do.
I shall have to think about this, maybe write a Bucket List. The trouble is that I am really a very happy little bunny.

Don't you know? You're not supposed to be happy with the status quo. You must work harder to achieve more and more! I'm being sarcastic, you know. I dislike people who push you into being something you aren't because they aren't content.
Being a happy bunny is just fine.
I think so, Sharon!
I don like doing things alone and I don't want too . But one thing I really want to do it travel all of Italy . Top to bottom or vice versa.. I would like to travel more whilst I can . The thing stopping me is being on my own . It I am going g to find a way around it all. Hopefully.
