May 22, 2021 – I’m Drowning

I have quite the imagination. I can drum up the most out of the box storyline and it will feel real. Maybe I should have become a writer. If the world could see what this brain could do, it would be intrigued. I’ll put a pin in those thoughts for now.

In the middle of the night, I woke myself up several times because of my dream. It started off with me spending time in the pool with 2 other people…no clue who, but it seemed like we were all friends. Now, to know me, means you know…I’ll get in the pool, but I have a huge fear of drowning. In my dream, it was all fun and games until I decided to go underwater. I remember being in the deep end…that’ll never happen in real life…then, I just went underwater and took a huge breath in. I woke up from my dream taking a huge inhale and trying to catch my breath. I went back to sleep…same dream. I would surface to the top of the water and go back down, take a huge breath in, and wake myself up gasping for air. I did this a few more times. At some point, I went back to sleep and moved on to a new dream that I don’t remember.

I’m not one for analyzing dreams all the time, but this one meant something. In my life now, I’m drowning. My biggest fear…has become a reality. There’s so much happening in my life that I can’t catch my breath. It all came to a head this week and now it’s effecting my dreams…my sleep…the one place I can be and do anything I want, has caught up to my real life. #SomethingHasToGive

Today, I’m making it a point to change the narrative, both in my awake life AND in my dreams. I’m getting the family up and out to Starbucks for dessert at breakfast. Thing 1 will have a warmed brownie, Thing 2 will have a marshmallow dream bar (can we just call it a Rice Krispie treat, Starbucks?), and I will have a honey citrus mint tea with 2 raw sugars with a side of some breakfast item. The Father of All Things will likely say, “You can take me to Dunkin’ on the way back.” He ain’t the biggest ‘Bucks fan. But everyone is getting what they enjoy this morning!

My hope, this will be a great start to the day! Notice I didn’t say weekend. I’m taking this thing called life one day…one honey citrus mint tea…one brownie…one marshmallow dream bar…one trip to Dunkin’…at a time.
