What Stories Does Your Pet Have to Tell?
Through some miracle you are able to understand the thoughts and conversations of your favorite pet or animal. The creature’s thoughts and words astonish you — they even shock you.

‘Tell Me What Your Dreams Are’
Diana Nyad, 64, just became the first person to swim more than 100 miles from Cuba to Florida without a cage to protect her against sharks. The trip took 53 hours and was her fifth try in 35 years. “I got three messages,” Nyad told reporters. “One is we should never, ever give up. Two is you never are too old to chase your dreams. Three is it looks like a solitary sport, but it’s a team,” she said. Asked if she could be an inspiration to others, she said simply, ”… you tell me what your dreams are. What are you chasing? It’s not impossible. Name it.”
So, that’s the question for today’s prompt: What is the dream you are chasing? What dream do you want to make come true?
