Good morning one and all,
I started this e-mail once before and suddenly it has disappeared into cyberspace. I'll try again but you never know what Dragon is going to do. Sometimes I think that it interprets what I say as a message to send. By the time I figured this whole thing out I will be ready to stop talking.
As I started to say in the first e-mail -- fall has arrived. The temperature is 62° and windy at 12:30 PM. When I sit here and look out the window the trees are bending over from the wind so it apparently is more than a breeze! The sun is out. So from inside looking out. It is a perfect day.
The hospice nurse was here this morning and we had a good talk about life, my life, and death, my death. Funny, how one leads into the other. It seems that when she is here we talk about things that bring tears to my eyes. We call it "crying Tuesday". It does help though, and is good for me. I told her about my dreams and what I think they mean. She told me that in her job she sees people on this path who are all different. In other words, some people who are in a lot of pain may begin to have nightmares or scary dreams. Some who aren't in pain, may have comforting dreams of family and past experiences that were memorable. Others may never dream.
I don't know what the horses mean Joni, -- now if it were my husband dreaming about horses, I would have said that he was ready to ride off on his favorite horse. He was a cowboy -- an educated one -- but I'm guessing that he had more dreams about cowboys and horses than he did about the youth and their families who he counseled.
Before he died he told me that he would find the best 40 acres in heaven and build the house to get ready for me. I told him that sounded good but not to worry about finding a horse for me, instead, he could round up a bunch of dogs! I bet he will too. LOL.
All of this chatter has made me thirsty, I need to go to the kitchen and warm-up some coffee. Hope you all have a good day, and take time for smiles, giggles, and maybe a tear as you remember good times and give thanks for today. I know that I have lots of things to be grateful for , and one thing is this table, where friends gather and talk about hot dogs,poop, and cup cakes!
