The large stereo cabinet stood in the living room of my childhood home. It played my mom's favorite records and even 8-tracks. It took up a lot of space being about 6 feet wide and 4 feet tall. I loved my mom's stereo. I spent hours listening to my mom's favorite singers, including Barbara Streisand, Petula Clark, Jim Nabors and a few others. Though I knew I couldn't sing, I would still sing along to my favorites (usually I waited until I would be home alone, before belting out the songs.)
As I grew up listening to these songs, I learned to love a great ballad. I considered "The Impossible Dream" to be my favorite then as I listened to Jim Nabors sing it. I love that song to this day. I dream I can actually sing that song, but that's definitely the Impossible Dream. For now, I will simply enjoy listening to the song, and using it as a theme for my life. As I face my challenges and overcome my imperfections, I hope to endure and to learn from my life, and to make my life all it can be.
