Dreams.

I have had quite a series of dreams through out my lifetime. Goofy kinds. Sad kinds. Scandalous kinds. Frightening kinds. Completely realistic kinds. Abstract kinds. I think all kinds... I decided the other day it would be fun to write a song about the randomness of my dreams. A lot of times famous people are in my dreams as best friends. Characters from movies also often make appearances. Old friends houses, old bedrooms, old people, young people, people I don't know- but in my dream I know. The random list would consume the entirety of the world wide web. (WWW). So I literally sat down, and within about a 30 minute time period my song about dreams came to be. It will go thru some more edits, and changes, but the first draft- is quite exciting. YAY! I love the hype of new songs. For me its almost refreshing. I look forward the opportunity to share it with all of you. I also found this website... for some dream defining... www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/ . I am not as savvy as a fella's wife's blog of my favor of putting the word you click on to take you to the site... What are some of your dreams that you have of memory.

I think I am still learning patience...

In the process of the "waiting" that occured with the house purchasing process- I began to think I had truly learned all that patience was. I wrote some thoughts down on a napkin. I reflected often on the patience that I portrayed and had to be. As I sit and blog today, I am starting to think, though the word patience seems simple enough, the act is much more complex. There are multiple levels of patience. For the longest time I was hot on the trail of finding a better job; hours, pay, company, benefits etc. The hilton has been a blessing. Lots of future potential is much moreso easily accessible. However, with the economic slowly dragging a long, hours are being significantly cut. I am now "waiting" on recieving reduced hour - unemployment. My wife is going thru the stages of recieving a settlement from accidents that are well past due. Both of our cars are past due on Tune-ups. Calls into unemployment are racking up cell phone bills. There always seems to be something going on. I think really mastering patience involves an overall confidence and attitude amidst these things. (and I don't think it ever ends.) One day maybe debt free comes along but there is bound to be something else. A child on the way, retirement etc. It becomes then so easy to live in the future. But why not just live in the now. One day at a time. Makes it a heck of a lot easier to do so- when you are focused on MUCH less. Its not bad to dream. Its not bad to hope. But to realize that nothing really is amidst our control, that there are some circumstances that are out of our reach, that we are sometimes powerless; though slightly hard to swallow- especially for me- its in most cases true. Welcome the art of learning patience. I think a one word definition of patience: BE.
