Wonderings?
Ever wonder where are dreams go, the ones we don't remember - not dreams like taking a cruise, but the sleeping dreams? Why do nightmares wake us up with fear? Yet, a happy dream wakes us up wishing we could stay asleep. Ever have that happen? You begin to wake up from a really good dream but you don't want to so you try to stay asleep so you can stay in the happy dream. I remember many of my dreams. I have a recurring dream about being in a house. The house has windows everywhere. Mommie, Daddy Pat, Poopy, Rosie and Scotty are in the house-there are bad guys trying to get in and I have to keep them out. I don't know why I have to keep them out, but I do, so I run from window to window - door to door - I do keep them out. Sometimes I dream I am at Little Grams. These are the best dreams. As a child the best weeks of the year were those spent at Little Grams. Little Gram never said "No." Which is not what made her remarkable - You know I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She loved without condition - all my life she loved without condition. Fail or succeed she supported me - she was such a gift, one of God's angels here on Earth. Hazel, she was Bug A Boo's angel here on Earth. She never spoke ill of anyone. When we got home from school she had a homemade snack ready for us. She loved without condition - that is a rare gift. Seems so much so the world is getting meaner - how can we change that? Baseball! We all need to watch more. I think that is the answer. Baseball is a cerebral. You eat some hot dogs, some peanuts, yell at the television - release anger about things you have no control over - then you feel great because your team won or feel lousy because your lost - But, and this is a good but - your team plays tomorrow! Isn't that great. 161 times a season you get a do-over! Why can't we have some do-overs in life. Like just one time you can really tell your boss what you think, then they forget and you it's a do-over! Or eat all the cheesecake you want without it causing heart damage, weight gain, or a spike in your cholesterol - do over! Come on, you know there are times when you would like to ask your someone; "Did you look in the mirror before you left the house?" Wasn't there a movie about some guy who could only tell the truth. Oh, that wouldn't work, I don't like to hurt anyone's feelings. What's up with the people in the grocery store? Why do they need to get so close to me - "Sweetheart, back your cart up, your not going to get to the cashier any faster by running your cart up my ankles." And why don't people with 100 items let the person with 4 items go ahead of them? Seriously, is that so difficult? I can't understand not letting someone out of a driveway when the light ahead of you is red, or the car that speeds by me just to get to the red light. How silly! People are silly aren't they? I don't understand the fascination with celebrities - why would they be any different than the rest of us-we are all flawed. I don't get wedding dresses, why spend all that money on a dress you are only going to wear once? OK, given the divorce rate you might wear the dress twice, though I don't think you wear the same dress to a second wedding do you? Today is Friday the 13th! Is it really a day when things are going to be bad? Is it bad luck to step on a crack? Will a black cat crossing my path bring me bad luck? I think I will find a ladder and walk under it - Friday the 13th, walk under a ladder, let a black cat cross my path - live on the wild side - Yeah, that's is what I am going to do - or maybe I will just go lie down. Oh, the possibilities are endless. Isn't that grand?!
