KEEP DREAMING

It is another beautiful day on Planet Earth. I am a little tired though. Last evening I got a call from Noah that he was having car trouble [overheating]. He was in Minneapolis and I was concerned that I might have to go get him. The problem wasn't resolved by late evening; he was in an acting class and couldn't communicate with me. By my bedtime, 12:30, I could only assume he would make it home okay. I don't know, that, that concern, was part of my restless sleep. I kept dreaming about a Power Ball ticket that was in the glove compartment of my little truck.

On Wednesday when I went to pick up the paper, I decided on impulse to buy a Power Ball. The owner seemed to be having a bad day, when I offered to split my winnings with her, she perked up. I went to bed on Wednesday night, without knowing, who won the World Series. When I learned Thursday Morning, that the Cubs won, I thought, “Wow that is a good sign.” We went out to brunch [cleaning lady day]; I was looking at the paper, I noted the winning numbers were printed. The power ball was a 5. I was sure I had a five for the power ball. We had taken the van, so I couldn't check, anyway why not be a millionaire for a little longer. Pretty much forgot about it when we got home, but remembered it, last night, when Jamie began talking about, the Opera House, she wanted to build in Ogilvie, I couldn't get her to fetch the ticket from the truck. Well, I was just teasing, as I knew it was something she wouldn't do. I didn't want to do it in case it may break the spell.

So I set myself up to have some crazy dreams. The dreams are hazy now, but they had to do with finding the ticket, not being able to find the ticket, struggling to read the numbers- all kinds of nonsense.

This Morning, when I went out to do the chores, I retrieved the ticket. I won't keep you in suspense …................................ no winner. Nothing! The 5, I thought I saw as the power ball, was the first number- not the last.

I probably won't have another impulse to buy a ticket for quite awhile. But then, who knows; there is learning in all our experiences and sometimes we don't know what it is.

Oh ya ! Noah did make it home okay, about 2:30AM. He added water and the engine seems to be cooling properly. Needs checking out, of course.

Life on Planet Earth doesn't always come to us smoothly or predictably. We are painfully aware of our parts as actors, but only dimly aware, of how we write and direct the script. However, it is all a learning process; sometimes not pleasant, but it always carries us along, in the direction we want to go.

Let us be peaceful, but keep focusing on our dreams. We are creators. Our dreams will bear fruit.

We are having absolutely beautiful weather here! I am going to go out and bask in the Autumnal Sun. Well, I got to do dishes first and have a little brunch.

Have a great Friday! Celebrate!

Love and Peace, Gregg
