This was the first thing I saw when I woke up.
Yes, it's bad quality pic but Sophie was approx 5 inches from my face! I love that. I was on my side and she was perched on my shoulder! Then she got majorly overexcited when she saw that I was awake and greeted me like she hadn't seen me in a year. I love my girl!
So back to this dream. In short, there was a blimp-type thing above the local river and it was taking people up so they could parachute off the blimp into the water. I was determined that I would make the jump! I bumped into some guys that I haven't seen since my school days who were all very supportive and best of all, my brother was there. My bro is a paratrooper. 'Nuff said. We bumped fists and then I remember looking over the side at the water below as we were at jump altitude. Woo!
And then I woke up. Gutted.
Being a committed student to the University of Google, I searched for a parachute dream definition. This is what I got.
Parachutes are associated with difficult situations that you wish to overcome(and get out safely).
And seeing as I've just referenced that first entry I've decided to redefine this blog and what it's about. I have found blogging to be seriously theraputic. This is my corner of the internet. I have the right to say whatever I want to say. So maybe this blog could just be a stream of thoughts on a day to day basis. It's just that now I don't feel the need to edit myself quite as much. This is a major obstacle in my real life at the moment. A compulsion to present myself as I think other people want to see me, not as I actually am. I think that has a lot to do with my current predicament.
After the first entry or two, I tentatively emailed the link to a few trusted friends and the feedback was great. Yes, I know friends are pre-programmed to be supportive and all but you know what? It made me feel good. To a person, they complimented me on my style of writing which was a really great surprise.
Words have a lot of power. I hang out on the internet in a place where people rip each other up with barbed sarcasm on a daily basis and take joy in doing so. Needless to say, I don't post much which is a shame as there are some really nice people there amongst the idiots.
And then there is the flip side. People like Nancy from f8hasit who offered kind words as only one complete stranger to another can. I highly recommend that you read her blog. I was so excited when I saw that she'd posted another entry today! Thank you Nancy for commenting and following. It means a lot to me. :)
So in summary, I think this is what I'm trying to say. This blog is me. Take me as you find me. And if you do happen to find me, please can you send me back to myself. It would be appreciated and save me a lot of time and soul searching. ;)
Todays post is sponsored by the f**k it way I found this little book at a New Age fair last year and has caused me many a chuckle! It's philosophy is simple, yet profound.
Btw, I cuss quite a lot. It's not big and it's not clever but sometimes I just can't find a word big enough to express what I'm feeling so I find that a nice swear word fits in really well!
And on that bombshell I will leave you with quite a nice picture taken outside my house earlier this morning.
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. :)
