Today, one of my lifelong dreams came true. 

Jazz brunch happened at my restaurant.

I walked out of the kitchen at 10 am to a room full of diners listening to the sweet sounds of the Joel Baer Trio.  Glasses were clinking, toes were tapping, and my heart was melting.  I took a mental picture that I'll keep in my mind forever.

Today was worth more to me than all the money in the world.

Reader, I'll keep it short tonight.  The longer I live, the more I believe in the importance of letting ourselves daydream, and then working towards realizing those dreams.  It's easy to lose sight of those deep desires that stir us from within, especially as we age. But I'm here to tell you, those dreams are essential to keeping us going. As we go through our week, let's all remember to keep our hungry hearts young by listening to them and chasing down what moves us. See you next Sunday. -Em
