A Friend with a Message

Ever have one of those half awake half asleep dreams ?
A dream that seems so real when you’re experiencing it but, disappears when you wake up…?

I had one of those the night before last.

I had fallen asleep on the couch
& I dreamt I was lying on my couch talking to a friend.
I was on my side, leaning on my elbow, looking at him.
He was on his side, leaning on his elbow, looking at me.
My couch isn’t that wide so my friend was kind of hanging in the air.
He and I were very deep in conversation.
btw …
This friend I was talking to looked an awful lot like Jesus.

When I woke up, I remembered my dream and thought ‘how wonderful !’
& I wished I could remember what my friend who looked like Jesus and I had talked about but, the conversation was gone.
Evaporated.

As my yesterday continued, it turned into a very unusual day.
In the morning, I was pleasantly phone call reunited with a friend I hadn’t talked to in twenty years.
In the afternoon, I received an update on a family member’s cancer diagnosis.
& the evening brought news of  the sudden, unexpected death of a much too young family friend.

All last night and into this morning, I’ve been thinking about my dream
my phone call
the cancer diagnosis
a sudden death.

I can’t be certain but, I think there’s a message in there somewhere ….

Whatever you’re putting off till tomorrow …
Do it NOW
Today.
You’ll be very happy you did.

No matter what your journey is … whether you think it’s fair or unfair ..
You have to trust it.
Trust is the key.

&
Live each day to it’s fullest.
Celebrate each and every day like it’s your last because, one day, it will be.

I hope I got it right, dream friend.
