"She

name of the Star, Kansas she said was the name of the Star.."

Imagination,
yes imagination.. It’s something we all have, but do we all use it?
Sometimes what we want or desire is right there in front of us.
Although most of the time we don’t look, or maybe we just don’t see.
When I was a kid I made up a whole imaginary world for myself. It
helped me deal with all the ups and downs of growing up. Like every
kid I was teased, bullied, or picked on. Every one of us has
experienced some of that. It’s an unfortunate part of growing up.
Kids can sure be mean sometimes, and adults too. As I got older
people would ask where I lived? I’d answer, in a "Dream World." I
guess it was my way of protecting myself, but also of reaching out
to new horizons as well. Albert Einstein once said,
"Imagination is more important than Knowledge." He was right.. So
let’s remember this, imagination can be your friend. If you really
want to do something, anything, try to imagine it first.
Imagine yourself learning about it, achieving it, and finally doing
it as well. And before you know it, you just might have it!
So long for now,
Jimmy
