These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Snow and Dreams

The sky over me and in every direction is completely white with clouds that look very heavy, as if they are just loaded with snow. If they begin to dump, I suspect we will get a lot. I can't see the mountains in any direction, so those clouds are very low. I'm OK with having another snow. I'm ready for spring, but we need the moisture, and since I know a snow won't last long on the ground, bring it on! It's only mid-March, after all! We'll see what happens.

I got a text message from Caroline a few minutes ago. It said, "Caroline has left the city!" YAY!! I'll probably talk with her later, and I'll put an update here on my blog for those of you who read her blog, too.

I rarely remember my dreams. I know I dream, because we all do. Once in a while I wake during the night or in the AM and I remember a dream or at least a snippet of it, but that isn't often. However, for the last few nights, I have been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming. I honestly don't remember most of them now. I just remember waking and knowing I had been dreaming. One night I woke several times after having a series of rather startling or scary dreams. Not scary as in horror, but scary as in heart-racing moments. The last one is the only one I remember. In that one I was in a car and rounding a corner to find another car stopped in the street. I woke the instant before the two cars collided.

Last night I had a dream with some odd components. I recently found a high school classmate on facebook, and we've had fun reconnecting. I've seen him at several class reunions, but those are always hectic, allowing insufficient time to really talk, so this has been nice. Well, he was in my dream. We were walking into a building that had swinging doors like an old west saloon. Right at the doorway was a gooshy muddy puddle that we had to walk through or jump over, but the significant thing is that this area was swarming with mosquitoes. I turned around and saw another man from my past, a coworker who was very dear, very devoted to me as I was to him. I asked him if he could do something about the mosquitoes, and he said he would, but he just sat there. I asked if he had some spray or something, and he said, "Oh, yeah. I'll go get it." When he worked for me, I never, ever had to ask that man twice for anything. He was so on top of everything. I have no idea what this dream meant, or any of the others, for that matter. It's interesting that I'm so aware of my dreams recently, whatever they mean.

As I said yesterday, I bought my necessary food, stopped at the library, and brought home mail which included movies. So I in for the duration, snow or not. I have four audio books, two movies (as well as several that I own and have not watched), and lotsa good food. Oh, yeah, and five cuddly furballs! So I'm nestled in and prepared for whatever happens in the next 48 hours. Bring it on!

That's all I have for the moment, but you know how I am. I may be back later with some amazing, fantastical, wondrous news. Or I might just bore you with a bit of nothing that amuses me! HA! And I might not be back at all! Double HA! Either way .... have a fine Friday!

  1. You're such a goof.

    I've recently met up with quite a few of my ole' high school friends on facebook and we've been having so much fun. Everyone posting different pictures they had of all of us, so much I'd forgotten. Loving it.

  2. Kathi, you know, that's one of the things I like about facebook. I haven't been on there very long, but the communication choices thrill me. I've had private talks with some people, and joined in on public conversations, too. Love it. I won't be giving up the blog, because the purpose is purpose is so different.

    Wait! What?? ME?? A goof????? No!!

  5. I would be real excited to see some heavy snowclouds and know I didn't have to do anything/go anywhere and had plenty of food, books, movies & good company (the pets). It's the calling out to work/daycare logistics that spoil it for me!

  9. MJ, you're lucky if you remember your dreams. I don't know who I don't remember more than I do. Long, long ago I did, but I also had some recurring dreams, some of which were scary. I've wondered if I quit remembering because they disturbed my awake self.

  10. I usually remember all of my dreams and I often times wonder what they mean because some of them are just soooo weird. About a week before I moved I had several nights where I was dreaming about my family. One of them was with my brother and his wife and they were so nice to me and welcomed me into their home, which you know would only happen if hell froze over.

    I love when we are about to get a huge snow fall and I have stocked up on good food and good movies.

  11. Caroline, your brother would welcome you into his home short of hell freezing over .... if he wanted something from you. Shame on you for not remembering that lovely characteristic.
