Herb-tastic

Holly and I are growing an herb garden in my bedroom window. The garden will consist of basil, mint, and chives. The thing we were most excited about? Watching the small dirt pellets (shout out to Target's dollar section) expand in a mere 10 seconds upon being doused with 12 ounces (1 Mountain Dew can) of water.

We may or may not host our own gardening show in the future.

Goodness Gracious

trains
If a train appears in your dream, it may signify that you have a need to do things in an orderly and sequential manner. Alternatively, your dream of trains may be a metaphor that you are "in training" for some event, job or goal. To dream that you are on a train symbolizes your life's journey. It suggests that you are on the right track in life and headed in the right direction. Alternatively, you have a tendency to worry needlessly over a situation that will prove to work out in the end.

school bus
In particular, if you are a school bus driver, then it signifies that through knowledge and learning you will advance rapidly in life. Your dream may be connected with a new learning situation.

bridge
To dream that you are crossing a bridge signifies an important decision or a critical junction in your life. This decision will prove to be a positive change filled with prosperity and wealth in the horizon. Bridges represent a transitional period in your life where you will be moving on to a new stage. Alternatively, the bridge may indicate that you are trying to "bridge" or connect two things together.

ship [freighter]
To see a ship in your dream denotes that you are exploring aspects of your emotions and unconscious mind. [true for the moment!]

seats [on train and bus]
To see a chair in your dream symbolizes your need to sit down and take time out to contemplate a situation before proceeding. Or you just need to relax. Alternatively, it indicates that your feelings or ideas are being dismissed or cast to the side. To dream that someone is offering you a chair suggests that you need to be open to taking and accepting advice.

oncoming car
To dream that you are almost hit by a car suggests that your lifestyle, beliefs or goals may be in conflict with anothers.


I tend to have reoccurring symbols in my dreams, but lately they have been intensified. Quite interesting, to say the least!

10 things I am thankful for today.

1. Freshly made coffee at the perfect temperature. Pure bliss.
2. Sunshine.
3. Time with my sister, my best friend, my other half.
4. Loads and loads of boxes that are demanding my attention. I like to be productive...when I have the time!
5. An impending phone conversation that I am anticipating will provide direction for the upcoming year.
6. Twinkle lights.
7. The gracious birds outside my window who are willing to provide my background music this morning.
8. The Lord's unconditional provision and grace.
9. Kleenex, Breathe-Right Nose Strips, and Sudafed.
10. The courage, spirit, and passion that so many display on a daily basis. It often goes unacknowledged and unappreciated, but never forgotten.

Happy Memorial Day.

Dreaming Out Loud

Taking into consideration the transitional state of my very being [hence the ever-so-subtle title], I thought it necessary to share some images that have been appearing in recent dreams of mine. I'll let you decide the degree to which they are relevant.

balance
To dream that you loose your balance suggests that you are having difficulty weighing your options and choices in some situation.

bridge
To dream that you are crossing a bridge signifies an important decision or a critical junction in your life. This decision will prove to be a positive change with prosperity and wealth in the horizon. Bridges represent a transitional period in your life where you will be moving on to a new stage. To dream of a run-down bridge, indicates that you should not contemplate any major changes in your life at this time. [Guess I don't have a choice here, do I?]

river
To see a raging river, signifies that your life is feeling out of control.


eeeeek.

And thus my May heading: Keeping Faith.
