Is this a sign I am blogging too much?.....................

I had a fabulous dream the night before last and right in the middle of it I remember thinking to myself, "I can't wait to write a post about this." When I woke up I realized that I was thinking about blogging while dreaming. Do you think this indicates I have crossed a line and gone over the edge? Nothing I can do about it now except share the dream like I dreamed of doing.

The main character of the dream was an old woman that was at the end of her life. For whatever reason her family came into her room and built her this HUGE Big Ben type clock complete with chimes on the hour and half hour. The clock was built on the wall at the foot of the bed so she could see it whenever she was awake. Once, when I went in to care for her I noticed that the time was all off, and then realized that this was because her daughter kept changing the hands so the clock would chime. Each time the clock chimed the woman would smile and this amazing look of peace would come over her face.

As I watched her face "glow," I couldn't help but think about how much she was loved. It was quite an undertaking to get the clock built in her room and the only reason the task was tackled was because the family wanted the woman to know that she was loved that much. Every time the old woman heard the chimes she was reminded of the great love her family carried for her.

Never mind that the clock was loud. As with most dreams they don't always make surface sense, and the chimes never once woke up the resident next to this woman or bothered anyone else in the facility. I love that about dreams.

When I woke up, I brought the old woman's sense of peace with me. I felt tranquil, calm, and loved as I lay in bed listening to imaginary chimes. I kept that feeling for the greater part of the day. What a gift that dream was.

I hope one day that I will do something that magnamimus for someone I love. I hope I notice that one thing, that perfect one thing, that can express my undaunting love for this person without a need for words. Definitely something to strive for isn't it?
