Plans

Sometimes Go Awry

You know it’s just the wrong thing to do when you announce to all and sundry that you are going on a diet. Now, all they want to know is how much weight you’ve lost. Likely, you’ve gained weight. It took me years to learn that particular lesson. I just don’t talk about it anymore.

Over the years, I have consistently made the same mistake: announcing that I am writing a book. I don’t know why I can’t keep my mouth shut about it. I mean, what’s going to happen? Am I actually going to write it?

It’s like saying, “I’m going to get married this year.” People will ask, “Then, who are you dating?”

Nobody.

“Then, what makes you think you’re going to get married this year? What have you done about meeting suitable people?”

I’ve done nothing. I’ve been waiting for Mr. Right to show up.

Personally, I think I smell a book in this. You know what I think I should do? I think I should write mini things. I don’t know what they are, really. Do you say a vignette? Is that what I’m talking about?

Maybe.

Maybe it’s like meeting a boy. Somehow, he has caught your attention. Maybe it was the way he laughed with his friends. Maybe it was the shy look you spotted him giving you. Of course, you can’t see very well, so he could have been looking at somebody else. Besides, don’t you have acne? Why would anybody look at you?

Deep Sigh.

Everything in its season.

Patience was something I thought I had learned. I am better at it now, at 70 years of age, than I was at 12. So, it’s an improvement. But have I really, really learned patience? Probably not. But I am better.

What about fortitude? Yes, I suppose I am better as long as we’re not talking about a diet. I do eat less these days, but then, as an older person who isn’t using as many calories as somebody who once clocked three miles walked in a day’s time in a tiny office, I should eat less. On the bright side, we save on the food budget.

I am getting better at recording my dreams. There is more happening in them. Some seem to last for hours, but it could also be that I’m dipping in and out of being lucid. Which is cool and something I’d like to continue. You know what I’d really like to do? I’d like to read in my dreams. I think that would be as cool as anything I’ve done lately. Just give me a book and I will read it in my dreamtime.

Patience, Pauline.

Okay, so I haven’t learned it yet.

Our lessons, the ones we call life lessons, may never be over. Grieving, certainly, is a difficult one. It happens to everyone. Everyone comes to grips with it in their own way. And even though they tell you that grief gets easier, I think that it becomes quieter. In time, it might even be like an old friend.

The brother you lost just when he had big plans. As a psychic, I can always reach out and say hi and know he is there. You should know you can do that too, even if you don’t hear a hello and an I love you in return. Our loved ones are there. They know you are thinking of them. And, if you can imagine the love you felt when they were alive, the love now? It has multiplied so much.

What can I offer as a writer to you? I can tell you that I am an ordinary human being who has dared to do fantastic things in my life. And, I can tell you that you can do that too.

Hey, thanks for reading. Explore the other places I’m at on the Internet. See you in the dreamtime.

Love,
