DREAMS
Last night I dreamed of,
packing for a trip,
checking to ensure the money in place,
securing a ride to the airport,
buying some last minute clothes,
for the first tropical trip of my life,
I was excited and nervous,
I remember there were two others going that I knew,
we were all excited,
then it was the time to leave for the airport,
my ride was there,
it was the people that I was going on the trip with,
for some reason, the topic of passport came up,
I stopped dead in my tracks, dropping my luggage,
I couldn’t breathe,
they asked what was wrong,
I replied, I forgot to renew my passport,
it was too late, I would have to stay at home,
there was no way with the state of the world,
that I would be allowed to travel,
without that precious document called a passport,
I had my vaccinations and the Covid-19 Immunization Record,
the bar code
but I had forgotten somehow to renew my passport,
how is that even possible,
never came up in conversation,
I do not know,
well I guess my first tropical trip,
is a no go,
will have to wait once again,
I will have to apply and have it done as they are good for 10 years,
the passport that is,
It was a hard goodbye as they left the house,
then I remember going somewhere with someone else,
we were a distance from my home,
when I remembered I had forgot my suitcase,
what a dream,
what a dream when you dream a dream,
of white sands and tropical breezes,
One day, it will happen,
I will travel to some far off tropical place,
Perhaps Hawaii, I would love that.
Talk about confusion in that dream,
I was wondering why,
Then I remembered I had watched a show,
on t.v. last night about memory,
it sparked the madness I called a dream,
There it was,
Good Morning,
thank goodness I am awake now!

You never know what you will think of when you are asleep. I had that strange dream just a few hours ago. With Alvin at my side and despite his many attempts to get me to stay up. Each time I fell back to asleep I would continue with that dream. WOW.
I hope that you have an amazing Saturday. Oh, just looked out the window and the sun is shining and it is SNOWING. Oh no, not more snow. I guess on the upside the temperature is warmer with the moisture. So we can walk later. This weekend is laundry and Christmas cards and letter writing. I will have them finished by the end of tomorrow. Ready to mail next payday.
Continuing to live this life with kindness, respect, compassion, patience, understanding, love, laughter and gratitude.
Always, Carol & Alvin
