This morning, when I woke up, I vividly recalled every
instance of the most amazing dream I’ve ever had. I was in the woods, alone and lost, calling to my friends,
but no one answered. As I rounded
the corner of a particularly large tree, I saw all of my friends in a clearing,
waiting for me. As I entered the
clearing, a shout of acknowledgment rose from the crowd. Their love was palpable and they
radiated with so much friendship and joy that I was blinded.
As
I woke up, I could barely contain my joy.
I woke refreshed, ready to take on the new day and the challenges it
held. That’s the power of love, of
feeling and of being loved. Even
platonic love can change attitudes and drive through life’s obstacles that are
strewn about our path. I had the
best day and it was because I was loved.
I would like to note two things about this post. 1) It is shorter than the others because conveying a deep founded sense of optimism is uncharacteristically difficult. 2) I didn't use the term "sunshine" or any of its derivatives nearly enough.
