Dreams of the Outback

Today, I woke up around 12:15. I had a bowl of frosted flakes for breakfast. Lately I've been having reoccurring dreams that I am in some type of forests or campground. If I am not in a forest I am in some far off land. This time specifically, I was in the country of Australia. Because I have been dreaming so much lately, I have been having various discussions about them with my family members. My little brother thinks that our dreams are based in reality. I didn't know whether I believed his theory.

Today however, his theory was proven right. I downloaded a free iBook called The Boys of Summer. It is about a young girl named Tess and her two friends, it also happens to be based in Australia of all places. So now, I am learning all about the landscape of the country as well as some of the slang terms used. I think it's going to be a good book because I've already read the first 55 pages. The descriptions I've been enough that it makes me feel like I'm there. Aside from purchasing the iBook the other highlight of my day was watching this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy.

The episode made me laugh, cry and left my jaw metaphorically on the floor. Thursday night is once again becoming one of my favorite times of the week. I was talking about it with Cheryl and I cannot believe that this show has been going on for 10 years. I followed it religiously for quite a long time and I am once again becoming a super fan. It is hard for me to wrap my brain around all the new cast members but I'm getting there.

The Longest Ride pages 1 through 12

I have recently started reading Nicholas Sparks’ latest novel The Longest Ride. As far as I can tell, this novel is written from the perspective of different characters. In the first chapter, we meet Ira. I believe he is in his early hundreds. He spends much of the first few pages talking about the close relationship he had with his father. What I liked most about this particular section was that it showed how human Ira was. He is an elderly man who was shaped by the guidance of his parents and the love of his wife. Of the only part I didn't particularly care for was the appearance of Ira's late wife. It seems to me that Sparks used this premise in his last few novels but I can be certain. One of the things that I enjoyed most about this first chapter was the amount of history that was involved in it. It seemed slightly reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks’ first big novel The Notebook. I didn't get through his last novel so I planned on doing a series of blogs about...

I remember...

 When things used to be simple. They would visit every Tuesday. I would miss them ,the kids would fill up the house with noise  and excitement. Then we got custody and the world changed.  I learned how to share. I learned how to teach. I  and others learned how to dream big for them. We all watched them grow experiment and change

Dream catcher

. Dream Catcher She awoke from her dream, a male voice saying, "I thought our mothers' always won."             Above is the only snippet of information I can remember from a recent dream I had. It at first sounded like the male voice or someone I knew, from high school or below. Now however, I can't place it. Maybe it's to remind me that my mother has always fought for me, and she will continue to win every war.             I collect dream catchers, I've always wondered whether they really work. Several years ago now, I was searching through some of my personal items and I found a legend about dream catchers on some stationary. It was a legend out of South Dakota. To quickly paraphrase, it said that the person's nightmare is held in the web of the dream catcher. Then, the dream or nightmare parishes in the early morning light. Prompt cre...
