I had a dream

I haven't been feeling so hot lately.

I've lost a little bit of the pep in my step and I need to get it back--and quick. (ly.)

I equally loathe the misuse of adverbs and love misusing them.

Deep down I think I know what I need to do to get myself together, but I'm feeling off-kilter and unable to move forward and do what needs doing. Things like: planning, making lists, gathering resources, practicing and studying my Spanish, compiling information so I'm not completely clueless and lost when I arrive.

Right now, I am loving this song to pieces. It sounds melancholy, but I find a sense of hope in the lyrics and a feeling of calm.




I was a little girl, alone in her little world
who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees,
and fed my houseguests bark and leaves
and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream

that I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark
through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down at me,
God answered in silent reverie
I said a prayer, and fell asleep.

I had a dream

That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream.

Now I'm old and feeling grey
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full, I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell
I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now

to fly from the highest wing

I had a dream.

You have a "personal support & assistance" team here in Mom and I...just tell us what you need and we're here to make it happen :-)

I know these next few weeks are bit of limbo for you but I know your prayers ARE being heard. Hang in there and let's be sure to give ourselves plenty of mental breaks at Tattered Cover.

Love you, Daddy
