Yep You

I was given a reminder last night.

I had one of those very vivid, very crowded dreams
& you were in it.

Yep.
You.

I was on my recliner all nice and cozy.
There was a knock on the door.
I yelled to whoever was outside, “nooooooooo …!… don’t make me move …!…”
The knocking continued.
I grumpily got up to see who was there.
It was a slow walk, like I was stuck in some sort of goop
& I was almost to the door, when it swung open.
A group of people stood in front of me.
I knew them all.
uh
Hello.
Everyone said “come on ! come on ! it’s time to go !” to which I replied, “No ! I need to stay in my chair !”
My friendly crowd grabbed me anyway.
They took me out to the street.
Lines and lines of faces were gathered.
My peeps were carrying me at this point, a mosh pit carry
& I could actually feel the force of their confident push forward.
They told me others were waiting for me.
They said I had to give a speech.
At that point, I panicked because I don’t do speeches.
I shouted “I’ve never done this before ! I don’t know what to do !”
Those awesome souls, who were still enthusiastically holding me, each took a turn whispering “You Can ”

& then I woke up.

Truth be told, I was in a mild freak when I came out of my dream
& boy, am I glad I don’t have to publicly speak today.
whew.
But, now that I’ve had a cup of coffee, I know I received a memo.
A memo to Thank You.

Yep.
You.
You who are reading these words of mine.
Whether you are a newbie or have been with me for the long haul, YOU were carrying me.
Thank you for reminding me that I can
and for the zillion of things you continually do to lift me up again and again
& yet again.

um
errrr

I just have one, teeny tiny, itsy bitsy request of you though
pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

eek.
