MONDAY MORNING

I woke up this morning feeling amazingly refreshed and in the greatest of spirits; humming on my way to the shower,looking in the mirror seeing someone new smiling back at me.

It was the best of dreams, talking for the first time, on the telephone to the Pobble. In my dream, the "three minute" (I hate talking on the telephone) rule was broken as we talked about friends, family, the present, past and future, life, love and loss. We discussed her recently published book and books to be published in the future. We talked, it seemed endlessly.

We talked, we laughed, we understood each other as though we've been friends forever.

Most importantly, "she got it"! She got every syllable, every word, every sentence I uttered, and knew exactly where I was coming from. Her voice gentle, caring, understanding..... with a little bit more than a hint of naughty; her laugh infectious. The intermittent sound of dogs barking in the background was music to my ears!

The dream, which lasted over an hour ended much too soon..... I wanted to go back to bed to continue the dream.

But wait, my ear remains numb from pressing my cell phone against it for so long.

I realized it wasn't a dream after all. I called the Pobble Thoughts and it was sooooooo good; and as a person who sees the telephone as a dreaded disease, this took BALLS and baby I got balls!
