Alone

It is a fact of life that I am not always excited and motivated by the dreams of others.  I can  be excited about what I want to do, and recognize there may be dry times in achieving what I set out to achieve.
Yet when it comes to the dreams of others, I can see dryness as the way the whole thing is.  I would rather be doing my own thing.
Yet I pause because I realize something.  If I need help in achieving my dreams, then it is reasonable to assume others need help in achieving theirs.
In a way that sounds selfish in that I am using another to achieve my own ends.  Yet I think it is better said we are all using each other to achieve our own ends.  As far as I am concerned alone is never ideal.  Alone is not what works best.
It is true to me that I alone can decide a course of action for myself I want to take.  But alone is not best for anyone.  More can be made of dreams done together. To me together is best.
I have gone down this path because Merril told me she wanted to transfer a tv with a dvd player to her room and put up a shelf.  This was to aid her study.
I admit I was not into it.  Yet I felt big time that Merril helps me so I should help her.  Ok I have this thing about electricity in walls that I want to steer clear of.  Rightly so it seems to me.  Dad was in the building industry and at one stage pressed for electricity wiring being included in plans.
I do understand why that was not pursued.  To me the including of wiring may be right at the time of building, but so many changes can be made down the track.   The powers that be do not want to be responsible for future accidents because action was taken based on how it was.
Anyway we used electricity finders.  That is after we googled it to see how what we had worked. 
Everything was harder than we had imagined but elbow grease and ingenuity won out and we did it.
Merril has what she wants, and we both feel good about it.  I learned new skills and a work around, and Merril had what she needed for study.  We achieve more together.
