I would like to share a dream that I had last night. I am sitting at the shore, look at the ocean. I watch the waves crash in and feel the mist hit my face. There is no one at the beach. It is just me and my thoughts. I see a boat that is sailing east away from the beach. I start to get up and start walking to the mainland. While I do, so I drop a paper, looks like a map, but I really could not tell. I pick up the map and continue.
I start walking. I start seeing flashes of people. It is like life-size pictures because there are there for a moment, and then they disappear. Some of them I recognize, and some do not look familiar. Each picture is an action photo of sorts. Some are laughing. Some are pointing, and some are crying. I stop at one of the pictures see my old friend Rob.
Rob pasted way this year. During high school, he was my best friend. We would go to McDonalds together before school and have the passing of the Canadian Bacon. He loved music, his family and his faith. He really was a wonderful person. We lost touch after our 10 year reunion. I say, "I am so sorry Rob." As his picture begins to fade. I am standing there with a tear in my eye as my friend fades away. I look at my map and continue.
I continue walking and start seeing more people. This time my old roommate George is there, and he is pointing. This picture is more of an action photo. He is moving along a direction, but I cannot make sense what he is trying to tell me. Then I see my oldest friend Howard. He also is making a motion, but I can't make sense what he is trying to say. I try to look at my map and figure out what I where I am going. Confused I do what most men do, just keep walking in the same direction I am going.
Next I see Joel. Another friend I have known almost all of my life. He looks like he is writing something down for me, but I can't make it out. I try and try but it just does not clear for me. When I look up, he gives me thumbs up and then disappears. Bev appears. She smiles looks like she gives a hug and looks to the right. I watch this and then she smiles and disappears. I look around because I am really confused on what is going on. I still see no one. I can't see the main land, but the ocean is farther away now.
The next person I see is my friend Becky. She is points to her eyes, to her hand and then to the west. She does this a few times, and mouths to me got it. Smiles and fades away. I look at the map, and I am starting to see something familiar on the map. It looks like a direction or a path. I continue.
I keep walking and now I see my friend Erin. She is standing there looks at me with her arms crossed, and mouths to me go ahead. I look down on my map, and I see that I should be at the main land. I take a few steps, and I make it. I feel like I have been walking for hours I turn around and everyone is there waving and cheering me on. I look back, and I wake up.
I feel refreshed this morning. I felt the passion to write it all down and share it with you. Maybe one of you can help me figure out what the dream meant. It was nice seeing some of my old friends and new ones all in one place. It was at one of my favorite places the shore. I hope this feeling stays with me the whole day.

Seesaw.....
I have realized that life is like a seesaw. You are up and sometimes you are down. The hardest thing to do is to balance the seesaw, when both sides are level. I have realized this more so while I have been trying to improve myself. There have been some highs and some low, but I have not been able to be just level.
I worked on catching up yesterday and today. It was amazing; I could clear off my to-do list and then some. It took a lot of extra hours, but I could do it. I felt great. The seesaw is now up. I went to help a coworker get caught up, and they tell me "Um you are going to be taking this all over." I say nothing just helped her get caught up, and then I go to my office. Why am I not told by my boss? Why does it seem that everyone else knows but me? I can't discuss this until Monday. The seesaw is now down.
In my life, the seesaw would be different. I would have a great personal life, but professionally it would be a disaster. It seems that I have had this issue of balancing for quite a while. The one thing I have noticed is that I am not letting it ruin the rest of my day. I know that I have the support of my friends to help me work it out. I also believe in myself that I will not let these issues dictate how I am going to feel for the rest of a day or days.
So as the workweek ends, I take a deep breath and stop thinking about work. I now concentrate on me. What I will be doing this weekend? Who will I call and catch up with? What things around the house will I get to? I know I will have a great weekend, and next week will be better than this week. I am not letting a seesaw tell me anything different.
